Frequently Asked Questions
1
Can I run different types of challenges (cost savings, product ideas, process improvement) at the same time?
Yes. Each challenge can have its own audience, workflow, evaluation logic, confidentiality level, and reporting dashboards - all running in parallel.
2
How do I ensure high-quality ideas instead of many low-value submissions?
Crowdworx uses structured templates, clear challenge briefings, AI-assisted idea quality checks, and collaboration tools that help contributors refine their ideas before evaluation - ensuring quality, not noise.
3
How do evaluations work when I have many experts or global teams?
You can configure multi-step evaluation workflows with scoring, pairwise comparison, expert reviews, AI scorecards, and weighted criteria. The system automatically routes ideas to the right evaluators and consolidates results.
4
Can external participants join my challenge?
Yes. You can invite customers, partners, suppliers, universities, or start-ups. Each group receives dedicated access rights, ensuring confidentiality and controlled information sharing.
5
Can I measure the impact of a challenge?
Absolutely. Dashboards show participation, engagement, top-performing ideas, savings potential, implementation progress, and realized financial impact - all exportable for reporting.

What languages and locations does Crowdworx support?
The platform supports multi-language interfaces, automatic translations, multi-currency evaluations, and regional workflows - ideal for global companies running cross-site challenges.
