LinkedIn is a broadcast channel
Everyone is a "Senior SAP Consultant." Nothing is checked, nothing is ranked, and reach is decided by an engagement algorithm rather than by standing. It is publishing, not membership.

A professional register for enterprise consultants.
Every established profession keeps a register — a list of who is qualified, in what, and vouched for by whom. Enterprise consulting never built one. ConsulSure is that register, and the membership community around it.
- ERP & enterprise platforms
- Technology & digital
- Business function
- Strategy & operations
- Emerging & niche
- 27 practice codes
02 Why ConsulSure
Enterprise consultants are the only senior professionals without a professional home.
ii
Freelance platforms compete on price
They are built to drive a rate down, and they are credential-blind by design. A fifteen-year S/4HANA programme lead is ranked beside a first-year contractor because both filled in the same profile form.
iii
Corporate networks end at the exit
The Big Four alumni network, the partner Slack, the client's programme channel — real value, all of it borrowed. It stays with the firm when you leave, and it never covered the independents at all.
The missing institution
Lawyers have the bar. Doctors have the medical register. Accountants, engineers and actuaries have chartered institutes. Each one does the same three things: it admits members against a standard, lists them under a defined specialism, and convenes them so they know each other. Enterprise consulting — a profession running the systems that most of the world's revenue passes through — has none of it. ConsulSure starts with the community and the register, and earns the rest.
03 The practice index
Expertise here is coded,
not self-described.
A register is only useful if two members can be compared. Every ConsulSure member is listed under a code from a fixed taxonomy of 27 — minimum one, maximum three. No headline soup, no forty-skill tag clouds. If you are an Oracle EBS-to-Fusion migration lead, you are 01.2, and the register says so.
Listing rule
Minimum 1, maximum 3 codes per member. Codes are assigned at review, not chosen freely — a claim of five specialisms is a claim of none.
0 codes selected

Three rungs. Each one means something different to the person reading it.
The tiers are not feature bundles. They are levels of standing, and the higher two are entered by application. You are not charged when you apply.
-
III Fellow
Fellow
$499/year
or $59/month · billed monthly
Admission: application or invitation · reviewed by sitting Fellows
The senior rung. Fellows are the members other members are sent to. Admission considers depth of programme experience, references from inside the register, and willingness to give time back to it.
- Everything in Expert
- Fellow designation on your record and in the index — the register's only ranked mark
- Host roundtables and closed-door sessions under your practice code
- Named and quoted in ConsulSure briefings and practice notes
- A vote on changes to the practice index and the admission standard
- First position when the opportunities layer opens in Phase 3
-
II Expert
Expert Most members start here
$199/year
or $25/month · billed monthly
Admission: application · credential and tenure review
The working rung of the register. Your record is checked, published, and carries the verified mark — which is the part that does work for you when someone is deciding whether to take the call.
- Everything in Community
- Verified mark on your record after credential and tenure review
- Full listing in the member index under 1–3 practice codes
- Member-only sessions and practice roundtables
- Direct contact with any member in the register
- Founding member number if admitted in the first cohort
-
I Community
Community
Free
Admission: open · no charge, no card
The front door. Enough access to judge whether the room is worth paying for, without any verified standing attached to your name.
- Member discussion spaces, organised by practice code
- The monthly open session
- Read access to the member index
- The ConsulSure briefing by email
- No verified mark · self-declared practice · not listed in the index
05 What membership gives you
Six things, stated plainly.
01
A register entry with your name on it
A permanent member number, your practice codes, your tenure, your standing. Shareable, checkable, and yours for as long as membership runs.
02
Verification that someone actually did
Credentials and tenure reviewed by a human before the mark is issued. The value of a verified mark is entirely in how many people it is refused to.
03
The room, filtered by code
Discussion organised by practice, not by feed. A ServiceNow ITOM question lands in front of people who have shipped it, not in front of everyone.
04
Sessions worth clearing an evening for
Small, practitioner-run, Chatham House rule where it matters. Closer to a professional institute's programme than a webinar funnel.
05
Referral inside a closed set
Most enterprise work moves by referral. Membership puts you inside a bounded, verified group of the people who make those referrals — and lets you make them back.
06
Visibility that isn't an algorithm
Being findable under a code, cited in a briefing, or hosting a roundtable. Standing accrues to the record, not to a posting cadence.
06 Sessions
Three formats. Practitioners only.
The programme is the reason members renew. Formats are fixed; the calendar is set with the founding cohort, and the codes with the most members go first.
All members
The open session
One practitioner, one programme, what actually happened — including the part the case study leaves out. Open to Community, Expert and Fellow.
Expert & Fellow
Practice roundtable
Convened under a single practice code — an S/4HANA cutover table, a Workday payroll table. Verified members only, so people speak freely about vendors and rates.
Fellow
Closed door
Eight Fellows, no recording, no attribution. Commercial terms, difficult clients, what a programme is really worth. Hosted by a Fellow, on invitation.
Founding members help set the first year's calendar. Session detail is published to members in advance; nothing is announced publicly before it is scheduled.
07 The founding cohort
Two hundred and fifty numbers,
issued once.
A register's first entries are the ones that set its standard. The founding cohort is capped at 250 verified members, and the numbers below CS-0250 are never reissued.
- 01A permanent number. CS-0001 through CS-0250. It stays on your record for the life of the membership and is not recycled.
- 02The founding annual rate, locked. $199 Expert / $499 Fellow held for as long as your membership runs unbroken, whatever the rate becomes later.
- 03Founding mark on the record. Displayed in the index, permanently. It says you were here before there was proof it would work.
- 04A vote on the standard. Founding members shape the practice index, the admission bar, and the first year's session calendar.
- 05Direct line. Founding members reach the people building this, not a support queue.
Open Issued
Seats are marked as issued when a member is admitted and verified. Nothing here is pre-filled.
Practices represented by founding members will be listed here

09 Questions
Before you apply.
What is ConsulSure, exactly?
A paid professional membership community for enterprise consultants, plus the register that lists its members under a fixed practice taxonomy. Today it is people, standing and sessions — a professional body, run small.
What is it not — is this a marketplace?
No. There are no listings, no bids, no rates, no take rate on your work, and no guarantee of work of any kind. Companies cannot buy access to members today. An opportunities layer is planned for a later phase, and it will be opt-in by practice code, not a bidding board. If you are looking for a contract this month, this is not that.
How do the three tiers actually differ?
Community (free) gets you in the room: discussions, the monthly open session, read access to the index — with no verified mark and no listing. Expert ($199/year, or $25/month) is reviewed, verified, listed under 1–3 practice codes, and admitted to member-only sessions. Fellow ($499/year, or $59/month) is the ranked designation: reviewed by sitting Fellows, hosts closed-door sessions, and holds a vote on the admission standard.
How does the application and approval process work?
Four steps, no payment at any point in the first three:
- 01 You submit the application form on this page — name, email, practice codes.
- 02 We review credentials and tenure. Applications are reviewed weekly; expect a decision within seven days.
- 03 You are told the outcome by email — approved for Expert, approved for Fellow, or not approved, with the reason.
- 04 Approved applicants receive a payment link by email. Membership begins when it is paid.
What happens after approval — how do I pay?
A payment link is emailed to you directly. Nothing is charged on this website; there is no checkout here and no card field anywhere in the application. If you are asked for payment details before you have an approval email from us, it did not come from us.
Can I be turned down?
Yes, and some applicants will be. A verified mark issued to everyone is worth nothing to anyone. If Expert is not a fit yet, you keep free Community access and can reapply once your record has moved on.
I'm at a company, not an independent. Can I still join?
Yes. Membership is individual and follows you between employers — that is much of the point. Whether you are in a Big Four practice, a systems integrator, in-house, or independent, you are admitted on your own record.
We're a company that hires consultants. What's the path for us?
There is no company product yet, and we would rather say so than sell you one. Register your interest using the company form on this page: it tells us which practice codes you hire against, and you will be first in line when the company portal opens in a later phase. Companies do not get access to the member register in Phase 1.
Why is the founding cohort capped at 250?
Because a register grows on the standard set by its first entries, and because sessions stop working past a certain room size. The cap is on founding numbers, not on membership — but CS-0001 through CS-0250 are issued once.
What do I get if this doesn't take off?
A fair question for a first-year membership. Membership is annual or monthly, and cancellable; the founding annual rate is locked while it runs, and everything in Phase 1 — the room, the sessions, the record — exists on day one rather than being promised. Everything past Phase 1 is described here as intent, not commitment.
