External brain service is a new mode of consulting service, which originates from people's demand for knowledge and information, as well as the limitation of brain memory and processing ability. As the name implies, the external brain refers to a person or organization in a specific industry and field that has more professional knowledge and experience than ordinary practitioners and even operators in this industry and this field, as well as the thinking mode of discovering, analyzing and solving problems. They are hired periodically, rather than by businesses or individuals, to provide their professional advice or solutions to their clear demands. Their relationship with the business or individual that hired them is a partnership, not an employment relationship.

External brain services have the following characteristics:

External brain service is a kind of pay-as-you-go service. Customers can choose the right external brain provider according to their own needs, and flexibly arrange the cooperation time, method and content.

External brain service is a kind of service based on trust and professionalism. Customers need to trust the professional ability and integrity of external brain providers, while external brain providers need to ensure the information security and interest protection of customers.

External brain service is an efficient and innovative service. Customers can use the knowledge, experience, resources and network of external brain providers to quickly solve their problems or challenges, or discover new opportunities or directions.

External brain service is an interactive and win-win service. Customers and external brain providers need to fully communicate and collaborate to jointly formulate goals, plans and evaluation standards, and adjust and optimize them according to actual conditions.
