Frequently asked questions

What is PowerCheck?

It's a tool that evaluates business ideas using a five-pillar method: problem, team, customer, environment, and value. It uses AI to analyze your answers and generate per-pillar evaluations and an overall diagnosis.

What is the Express Audit?

It's the entry point to the free journey. From that page you start, create your account, and continue with the PowerCheck evaluation.

What's free and what's paid?

The initial journey and the PowerCheck evaluation are free. The PowerStartups membership is paid and includes the follow-up coaching inside the dashboard.

Why do I need an account?

To link your project, answers, and evaluation results to your user. If you get PowerStartups, you continue with that same account.

Can I use PowerCheck if I only have an idea?

Yes. It's aimed at people who are building a solution and need to review their assumptions. You don't need sales to get started.

Does it work for any business?

The focus is on ideas for innovative products and services. Recommendations depend on the context and the information you share about the project.

What information should I provide?

What you know about the problem, the people you want to serve, your team, the environment, and the value of your solution. Tell apart observed facts from the hypotheses you still need to test.

How long does it take to complete PowerCheck?

It depends on how detailed your answers are and how clear your information is. The journey is organized by pillars so you can focus on each part.

What do I get when I finish?

The per-pillar evaluations, your overall score, conclusions about your project, and five initial critical actions.
