Expert Search
Expert Search Grounded in Public Work
Distinguish genuine domain depth from broad titles by reviewing operating history, publications, patents, talks, and the context behind each claim.

Strong examples
Manufacturing Expert Example 01
Semiconductor Manufacturing Advisor · Independent advisory practice
Illustrative evidence combines fab operations leadership with authored process-control material and public presentations on manufacturing yield.
Evidence type: Technical publications and operating history
Review match evidence
This illustrative row shows the kind of public professional evidence a reviewer should look for. It does not represent an identified person or a completed RightWho search.
Partial examples
Process Expert Example 02
Director of Process Engineering · Semiconductor manufacturer
Illustrative evidence supports technical authority and operating depth, but public availability for external advisory work is unknown.
Evidence type: Conference program and patents
Review match evidence
This illustrative row shows the kind of public professional evidence a reviewer should look for. It does not represent an identified person or a completed RightWho search.
Weak examples
Research Expert Example 03
Materials Research Scientist · Research organization
Illustrative evidence shows relevant academic research without semiconductor manufacturing operations or production-scale ownership.
Evidence type: Publications

How RightWho Works
Not keyword matching. Not database filtering. Evidence-driven intelligence.
Blueprint Generation
For semiconductor manufacturing expertise, RightWho separates production operating experience, technical specialty, public explanation quality, and advisory relevance rather than ranking everyone who mentions semiconductors.
Evidence We Collect
- Technical publications, patents, standards work, and conference talks
- Operating roles that establish production responsibility
- Public project or program descriptions tied to the domain
- Teaching, advisory, or community work that demonstrates explanation depth
3D Profile Dimensions
- Specific domain and subdomain expertise
- Hands-on operating versus research experience
- Public proof and explanation quality
- Availability and advisory fit requiring confirmation
Illustrative Evaluation Framework
Adapt these dimensions and weights to the role, then review the evidence behind each match.

Evidence Gaps to Verify
- A broad expert label without work tied to the requested subdomain
- Academic relevance presented as production operating experience
- Availability or independence inferred without direct confirmation
Supporting Evidence
- Public work explains the exact process or system in the brief
- Operating roles show responsibility at a relevant scale
- Multiple source types support both depth and communication ability

Scenario
Illustrative semiconductor manufacturing expert search
The Challenge
The same expert keyword can describe researchers, operators, consultants, or executives with very different relevance.
RightWho's Approach
Evaluate technical subdomain, production scope, public work, and advisory suitability separately.
Outcome
Reviewers can compare the type of expertise behind each result instead of relying on a self-described expert title.
Frequently Asked Questions
What evidence is useful in expert search?+
Useful evidence can include relevant operating roles, publications, patents, standards work, technical talks, and public project descriptions.
Does expert search confirm availability for consultation?+
No. Public evidence can support expertise and possible relevance, but availability, conflicts, terms, and interest require direct confirmation.
Can research expertise and operating expertise be compared?+
Yes, as separate dimensions. The right balance depends on whether the goal is technical explanation, strategic advice, diligence, or implementation support.
This page explains how to structure a professional search in RightWho. The displayed rows are fictional evidence examples, not identified people or results from a completed search.
Limitations: Public professional evidence can be incomplete or outdated. Availability, interest, intent, authority, and private business facts require direct confirmation before outreach or a decision.
