I see your point. But the idea is not really to compete with SO, but rather offer an option for users who wants an answer to their questions / issues within few hours (and be sure the answer will resolve the issue), instead of waiting and hopping for some answer on other Q&A sites.

Looking forward to hear more feedback.

Sometimes honest feedback from a stranger is just what the doctor ordered. I have no agenda here, this is just my honest opinion. This is a business with no market demand. Have you put up some static landing pages with a big call to action button and see how many people will actually enter a credit card? i.e. before you invest in this business, build a "fake" site that looks real enough, and buy a small amount of traffic into the site with google ad words and see what % of people actually want to pay for this service. (The people that actually do enter their credit card get a nice email saying, thanks, this service coming soon. And some are a little mad they were tricked, but small price to pay for this info.) I suspect the conversion will be very very low. My boss would never let me pay for this service. He'd say, just figure it out yourself or wait for the free answer on SO.
