AXLE Program Screener
A shared tool for entrepreneurs and counselors. While AXLE Launch Ready helps participants develop their business work, the Screener organizes business information, programs to consider, and preparation milestones into a Screening and Action Report.
Entrepreneurs use it to prepare focused questions. Counselors use the report as a starting point for individualized advising, resource connections, and agreed next steps. It supports counselor judgment; it does not determine eligibility or approve funding.
Who does what
The course is delivered through Thinkific. Participants work independently and bring selected work to counselor conversations.
- Participants research, draft, and refine their own work; check facts and assumptions; and make their own business decisions.
- Your organization and counselors retain the advisory role and set counseling arrangements and touchpoints.
- AXLE provides the learning product and the support defined in the license.
AI-assisted drafting, where used, requires human review.
Institutional access
A demonstration lets your team review the program before discussing a license. A written agreement defines:
- Use and access: participants, permitted use, allocation, and access period.
- Delivery and support: onboarding, organizational responsibilities, and AXLE support and updates.
- Continued use: feedback, review, and renewal arrangements.
