Questions

Short answers about how GeniusCircle works. Can’t find yours? Write to support.

General

Do I need an invitation to join?

No. Anyone can sign up at any time. Invitations exist only to bring a specific person into a specific circle.

Who can see my problem?

You choose: public (listed and searchable), private (only you and the experts in your circle) or enterprise-only (members of your organization).

How are experts chosen?

The matching engine ranks verified experts on skill overlap, semantic similarity to your problem, reputation, reliability and availability, and checks for conflicts of interest. You see the reasons and confirm who joins.

What is an Outcome Pack?

A structured result of the circle: executive summary, decision matrix, rationale, action plan, assigned tasks, risks and mitigations, and references. It is versioned, exportable to PDF and can be shared with a secure link.

How it works

How does the AI assistant use my data?

It summarises discussions, extracts action items and drafts outcome sections. Every AI run is logged. Circle owners can switch it off and set retention.

How is reputation calculated?

From outcome effectiveness, accepted contributions, weighted peer feedback and consistency — never from followers or likes. Ratings are rate-limited with cool-downs and anti-fraud checks.

For experts

How do I become an expert?

Apply from your profile with your domains, skills and optional credentials. A moderator reviews the application and verifies you.

Can experts earn money?

Yes. One-time payments for circles are recorded in an expert revenue-share ledger with payout-ready records.

Billing

Can I cancel any time?

Yes. Paid plans run to the end of the billing period and then return to Free.
