the.com/adviser
Someone paid to tell you what you already suspected, but with a slideshow.
means A person with relevant expertise whom you pay for guidance on decisions you're too close to, too nervous, or too unqualified to make alone.
from From 'advise,' which came through French 'aviser' from Latin 'ad-' (to) plus 'visere' (to look at, go see, a frequentative of 'videre,' to see). So at its root, advising just means looking something over closely and reporting back what you see — the slideshow was always implied.
