Frequently asked questions
Is the Find Your Path quiz free?
Yes. The quiz is free, requires no account, and runs entirely in your browser. Your answers are saved only on your device.
Does the quiz give legal advice?
No. The quiz is a triage tool that suggests where to start preparing, not a legal recommendation. xCounsel is not your attorney unless you have entered into an engagement through the platform.
What does the quiz match me with?
Three things: a scenario article that fits your situation (when one exists), a pillar guide that covers the broader topic, and the toolkit tool best suited to organize what comes next.
How long does the quiz take?
Most users finish in under 60 seconds. The questions are radio buttons, not free text, so you move quickly through them.
Are my answers shared with anyone?
No. The quiz does not send your answers to xCounsel servers, to any database, or to any third party. The answers stay on this device. Categorical analytics carry the verdict only — never raw amounts or free text.
What if I'm not sure about an answer?
Every question has a 'Not sure' option. The quiz is designed to give a useful starting point even with incomplete answers — and the result page is honest about confidence level.
