People would want to brainstorm only with Analysts with a different idea or the successful one. The star analysts would be acting as evangelists or authors promoting their books.

They would be losing their shirt on it. This is an interesting thought on Pricing services. People would want to brainstorm only with Analysts with a different idea or the successful one.
