The advisory service program is typically fulfilled via video chat or email written to you individually. Though, arrangements can also be made for in-person, on-site presentation.
Manifest Mind, LLC under the direction of Carol L. Stimmel, in partnership with a network of consulting professionals that extend the world over, provides access to an hourly, on-demand advisor who has real-world experience is the way that many advisory clients get their most fundamental questions answered at a practical -- and theoretical if you prefer -- level.
Many high-level stakeholders just don't want to talk to nascent researchers who have trouble reading between the lines. It's not uncommon for advisors to be stopped flat in the middle of a conversation about a fairly difficult topic with a question like, "wait, I don't really know -- what exactly is a smart grid?" or "hold on, this is just between you and me, but I thought solar meant customers could go off the grid" and "how does biogas actually work? Can I put it in my backyard?" And the ever-favorite "why do we have to use clean water in our toilets?"
So, what's the difference between Carol and Google? Context, sense of humor, and trust.
2 hours is by far the norm for a one-time advisory session, with 1-hour for prep time and 1-hour for presentation time. Email me to schedule a session and begin planning up your questions so you'll get the best outcome.

Our research is objective and does not take a political position on any topic, nor do we avoid issues of societal import because they may have difficult political consequences. To do so would cast a shadow on our efforts to treat salient issues with credibility. We are solely concerned with the impacts of human behavior on our natural resources and how the application of technology may mitigate or improve sustainability outcomes.
