Become the expert ; )
Cut it off within 10 mins. At least that’s how it works in APAC. It’s free for the first 10 mins
Unclear on the question - are you asking what to do when there isn't an expert on a subject and you need one? Are you being expected to be the expert? Pls fix

OP - this is a common dilemma that many consultants face. There are three paths you can take once you’ve articulated the question or problem statement:
1. Search for someone in the firm who has either worked on something similar (and can share some insights), or has exposure to the said topic (and can share their insights)
2. Perform online searches (public), paywall (research firms like Gartner, Forrester etc.) and consulting reports (plenty posted on consulting company websites or public portals). This may get you enough to form an opinion
3. Search for and identify individuals or companies who know this topic (LinkedIn is your friend). Some people will be willing to speak and others might not. There are SME websites now where companies have added SMEs to their platform and broker the engagement (a few hours etc.). Expect to pay some amount to the person you engage. I serve as a SME to some services such as this and while I get paid a fixed rate for the phone call, the broker charges the client 5-10x depending on the service.
The above should give you enough to proceed, and I find it isn’t one or the other but an “and” approach that works best. Good luck!

Agreed - please rephrase your question as it’s unclear what you are asking.
Sorry can’t fix anymore, see the reply above
1) really push the networks 2) instead of talking to experts at the relevant company, you could talk to customer or providers 3) expand the search to formers who left further back but have stayed in the industry and 4) see if there are people in your firm who worked in the industry formerly
