$90-$200/hr consulting and strategy work, on your schedule
Run a model through a market-entry case the way you would a candidate, then mark its decks for the so-what that is missing and the cost logic that breaks. Your reasoning is the benchmark.
Trusted by top research companies
Hi, we're Zac and Jack, the founders of Terac. We want to talk to you directly, because you are the most important part of what we're building.
Terac is a community of experts. People who have spent years getting good at something specific and hard. The world is about to need more of you, not less. As AI takes on more of the world's work, the bottleneck shifts to the people who actually know what they're talking about.
Expert labor is the rarest resource in the world right now, and it is shockingly hard to find. The companies that need a former MBB consultant's eye on a market-entry case spend weeks chasing people, paying placement fees, and settling for whoever is available. Meanwhile thousands of qualified people are sitting with knowledge that no one ever asks for.
That gap is what we're here to close. Every project that lands on Terac is routed to the people who actually know the answer, on their schedule, paid fairly, and only when the work is verified. No middleman taking a cut of your time. No vague gigs. No chasing checks.
We care about every single person in this community. If you join Terac, you're not a row in a database to us. We read the feedback. We answer the emails. We will fight for you when a customer is being unreasonable, and we will be honest with you when something on our side is broken. The quality of this panel is our entire company, and we owe you a serious bar.
If you've made it this far, here is what we're asking: claim your profile. Put your expertise on the record. Let the world's most ambitious teams come find you for the work only you can do.
Management Consultants questions
Still curious? Write to us at support@terac.com.
Narrow specializations are often the most valuable. Models trained on generic consulting content struggle with sub-domain depth, so experts in PMI, ZBB, or regulatory work surface errors generalists miss. Flag your focus areas during onboarding and you will be routed to tasks that match.
You review AI-drafted issue trees, hypothesis-led decks, operating-model frameworks, and bridge analyses for logical and structural soundness. You may also produce worked examples showing how you structure a problem or stress-test an assumption, so the model learns your reasoning, not just your conclusion.
Credentials like an MBA, CFA, or PMP are noted on your profile but are not gates. What drives task routing is your years of hands-on client delivery and the practice areas you have worked in, since that is where model output most commonly breaks down and needs correction.
Yes. Some tasks are built around canonical frameworks and ask whether a model applied one soundly and adapted it to context. Others present a business problem and ask you to show how you would structure the analysis, giving the model a reference for how an experienced consultant works through ambiguity.
All tasks are framed as AI evaluation, not live advisory. You assess model output, not a real organization. Nothing you produce reaches an end client or is represented as professional consulting services, which keeps the work outside the professional-liability concerns that govern client engagements.
Why your expertise matters
A model's deck buries the so-what, sequences a transformation with no logic, and conflates run-rate savings with one-time gains. Catching that takes a consultant, not a casebook. Your corrections teach these tools the difference between an answer that sounds right and one that survives a Monday session with the CFO.
How pay works
The top of the $90-$200/hr band goes to deep sub-domain depth (M&A diligence, PMI, restructuring) or senior experience that qualifies you on strategy-level work. Fully remote, billed in hourly blocks, paid after your work is verified. No retainer, no minimum hours.
What the work looks like
A sample of the consulting and strategy work you would pick up. Every project is scoped, remote, and paid on verified completion.
- Flag where an AI-drafted transformation roadmap lacks sequencing, underestimates change lift, or ignores cross-workstream dependencies.
- Correct the MECE violations and missing branches in a model's issue tree for a profitability problem.
- Write a worked market-sizing build-up, annotating each assumption so the model learns where judgment enters.
- Score AI-drafted summary slides on whether the headline leads with the so-what and the recommendation is backed by evidence.
- Check whether a model's operating-model redesign separates accountabilities from responsibilities and aligns reporting lines to strategy.
- Compare two AI cost-reduction analyses and name which one correctly separates controllable costs and applies the right run-rate logic.
