WHY IT MATTERS

Expert consulting stalls on three bottlenecks

The incubated team had a clear model: verified providers, on-demand clients, post-session payment and private ratings. Before productization, the ceiling usually is not supply—it is missing infrastructure for trust, commerce, and governance.

无背书
资质散落 · hover 见标签化

Trust

Clients cannot tell who is actually qualified

Credentials live in bios, not in a verifiable system. Decision cost stays high and providers cannot differentiate—referrals and verbal promises still drive the sale.

私域转账

Commerce

Services stay off-platform; money and risk leak out

Booking, chat, repricing, and payment scatter across IM and offline channels. Without deposit rules or auditable orders, the platform cannot step in when quality or fulfillment breaks.

Scale

Ops becomes manual firefighting

Review, payouts, blocklists, and appeals rely on spreadsheets and chat screenshots. The team fights fires instead of expanding categories, improving match quality, or growing the provider pool.

SOLUTION VALUE

This is not a feature list—it is three business capabilities

We structured the platform around trust first, closed commerce second, and governance third. The app drives experience and conversion; the PC console drives review and arbitration on the same data.

Expert poolMulti-filter

Trust infrastructure

Providers submit university, major, degree, and availability; admins review IDs and certificates and apply tags. Clients filter by multiple dimensions with official and custom tags visible.

Cuts decision cost—finding an expert becomes searchable and comparable, not relationship-driven.

Closed commerce

Booking confirms channel and duration with a 10% deposit hold; sessions run in-app via IM / voice / video; checkout supports ±20% negotiation with WeChat Pay and Alipay; auto-rating stays private.

Turns expert time into traceable, reconcilable, repeatable platform revenue.

Risk & governance

The PC console covers credential review, payout approval, blocklists, appeal tickets, and chat retrieval; appeal reviewers vote; refunds or penalties can be enforced.

The platform becomes an operator that can protect both sides—not just a matchmaker.

UniApp
Shared data
PC Admin

Dual-side delivery

UniApp covers iOS and Android; the PC console carries governance. Sign-in, orders, sessions, and appeals share one data layer.

TWO-SIDED PLATFORM

Front office converts; back office governs

The business model works only when client experience and platform control run in parallel.

Client app · growth

UniApp dual clients

Clients and providers discover, communicate, book, pay, and appeal in one app; providers manage service cards and online status.

  • WeChat / Alipay / SMS lower sign-up friction
  • Verified tags and filters accelerate trust and booking
  • Live sessions keep delivery inside the platform

Admin console

As volume grows, review, funds, and disputes determine whether the platform can scale.

  • Manual credential review and quality tagging
  • Payout and blocklist rules protect the marketplace
  • Appeals plus chat archive give arbitration evidence

"We did not need another chat app—we needed a system where clients dare to book and the platform can backstop disputes. The front office drives conversion; the back office holds trust and arbitration. Once that structure is in place, the team can grow experts and categories."
