Fact

The Clarity problem: paid expert calls only work at $1,000+/hour

Sam explains why marketplaces like Clarity (pay-per-call with experts) historically fail: the unit economics only work when you charge $1,000 to $5,000 per hour, not the typical $100 per call.

“Yeah, and that doesn't really work historically. It only works when you charge like $1,000 or $5,000 per hour.”

Steal thisIf building a paid-expert marketplace, price calls at $1,000+/hour; sub-$100 per-call models have repeatedly failed.
