So I'd assume 20 minutes of an expert's time is worth $500, right?

Edit: Seriously, I'd charge $500 if the client picked the time and $100 if I could pick any period during the day, on short notice.

I'd actually charge more for a client-picked 20 minute period than I would for a one hour period because a 20 minute period would be very unlikely to repeat since 20 minutes isn't really enough to demonstrate great expertise.

Just to be clear, experts won't be 'on call'. Jobs will be opportunities for experts to grab, if they're free, rather than obligations to fulfill.
