Program guidelinesEach program's guidelines are rendered from the same configuration the assessment uses.
Signing inApplicants use the applicant sign-in; Powering Australia staff use the staff sign-in.
Your application
Registering your companyEnter your ABN, confirm the details the ABR returns, declare your authority, and you become the Company Administrator.
Choosing a programCompare open programs side by side; the quick check highlights the best fit without blocking either choice.
Eligibility stageAnswer every eligibility criterion for the program, declare your stage, and submit. Staff verify within five business days.
Merit stage and AI assessmentRespond to each weighted criterion with specific evidence; Claude drafts scores that staff review and the Delegate decides on.
Participation Agreement and activationCohort acceptance sends a DocuSign agreement; it becomes active only after the Powering Australia Administrator countersigns.
Dashboard and widgets
Your dashboardOne grid of widgets, each a view of one module's scores or a synthesis of several, gated by subscription and by role.
Widget catalogueFourteen widgets plus Progress; what each one draws, which module feeds it and what it needs to appear.
Governance Radar widget8-axis radar with expected band shaded. ASX Principles (adapted), AICD SME governance.
Modules pageSubscribe within your program ceiling, assign who is responsible, start or resume each instrument, and run the engine.
The twelve modulesWhat each module captures, the frameworks behind it, who completes it and how often.
Completing an instrumentPages of items with Previous, Next and Save and exit; structured grids; agent pre-fill you confirm, correct or reject.
M01 Phase and Growth ReadinessPlaces your company on the growth curve and measures the growing pains that signal a transition is due. Every other module is scored against the stage you declare here.
M02 GovernanceLooks at how decisions are made and overseen: board, delegations, shareholder agreements, risk and audit oversight, and how dependent the company is on its founder.
M03 StrategyCaptures your strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats with evidence, and tests whether your strategy has a diagnosis, a guiding policy and coherent action.
M04 Market and CompetitionRates the forces acting on your market and scores you against up to six named competitors on dimensions you choose.
M05 Commercial EngineMaps the nine blocks of your business model and the numbers behind them: funnel conversion, acquisition cost, lifetime value and margin per unit.
M06 Financial HealthReads two years of financial statements into a standard chart of accounts, which you confirm line by line, then computes runway, margins and resilience ratios.
M07 RiskBuilds a register of up to twenty risks with owners, ratings and treatments. Cyber, IP and foreign-interference entries are mandatory.
M08 Operations and ScalabilityRates manufacturing readiness, identifies your binding constraint and compares capacity with demand, suppliers and quality systems.
M09 Systems and DigitalMeasures the coverage and maturity of your core business systems, how well they integrate, and your cyber maturity against the Essential Eight.
M10 Team CompositionEach person completes their own profile under their own consent: qualifications, team roles and personality. The company sees coverage and gaps, never other people’s raw answers without consent.
M11 Culture and LeadershipEach respondent describes the culture now and the culture they prefer. Results are aggregated; nobody sees an individual answer.
M12 Commercialisation and Capital ReadinessPlaces your product on the commercial, technology and investment readiness ladders and records your IP position and capital plan.
Plans and feedback
PlansGenerated documents for one subject area, built from your confirmed data, scores and evidence, reviewed by your Commercialisation Manager.

Team, consent and settings
Team: people, roles and invitationsInvite people by email, set their role and Manager, see instrument completion and consent, and open consenting people's reports.
Consent and your individual resultsSharing individual instrument results with your employer is a separate, specific, versioned consent you can withdraw at any time.
SettingsCompany profile, widget visibility per role, dashboard layout, your consents and the research opt-out.
Staff portal
Staff portal: landing viewsOne landing view per role: Health and scorecard for the Administrator, the decision queue and cohort board for the Delegate, the portfolio for a Commercialisation Manager.
Queues, SLAs, claiming and conflictsEvery queue item shows age and SLA; claim it for two hours; declared conflicts remove companies from your queues.
The company recordSeven tabs shared by every staff role: Overview, Application, Assessments, Dashboard, Recommendations, Notes, History.
Module agents and evidenceEach module has an agent that gathers public evidence through an allow-listed proxy; nothing affects a score unless you confirm it.
