**PunditConnect has been featured in The Age.** The platform was written from the ground up in record time using ToolTwist, giving business professionals a new way to find and engage specialist consultants through trusted networks.

The article, **"LinkedIn frustrations lead to Pundit Connect launch"**, covered the thinking behind the launch: a professional-services marketplace built for people who need expertise, quotes, and trusted connections without relying on the limits of broad professional networks.

## Powered by ToolTwist

PunditConnect was built as a full marketplace platform, not a thin directory. It needed to support consultants, clients, profiles, enquiries, quoting, and the relationship-driven discovery model that made the product different.

Using ToolTwist allowed the platform to move from concept to launch quickly while still giving the team room to shape a custom workflow around how professional services are actually bought.
