From idea to a practical next step.
Describe an Australia–India sports idea, see which Roadmap areas and PlayForward pillars it relates to, check official sources, and — when you are ready — request a consented introduction. Briefs are saved to your account; they are not public.
Starting a brief needs a free account so your brief stays private to you.
Five moves. One private brief.
Each mark is a real step in the collaboration journey — not a marketing funnel.

- 01
Describe your need
Eight short questions: direction, who you are, what you want to achieve, what you bring, what you need, your stage and the evidence you already have.
- 02
Get a structured brief
PlayForward maps your brief to a pillar and Roadmap areas, lists official sources to check, and — if you choose — drafts assumptions, unknowns and questions with AI, clearly labelled.
- 03
See relevant expertise
Suggestions come only from reviewed profiles in the market you are exploring, with the criteria met and what is still unknown.
- 04
Request an introduction with consent
You choose exactly what is shared. The other side can accept, decline or ask for clarification. Nothing is shared automatically.
- 05
Track what happens next
An accepted introduction opens a private collaboration: shared objectives, meetings, agreed actions, outcomes and a full history.

More of the same journey
- Market-entry checklist — questions and official pages before you assume a market will work.
- Capability map — counts of published profiles only. Empty means nothing has been reviewed yet.
- Opportunity register — member proposals a reviewer has published. Not partnerships.
- Roundtables and challenges — published listings. A listing is not a result.
- Delegation plans — a private visit plan with meetings and an outcome. The public enquiry form stays on the delegations page.
What the Navigator will not do
- Tell you a market is viable, a partner is trustworthy or a product is compliant.
- Give legal, tax, visa, employment, IP or regulatory advice — it points you to official sources and qualified professionals.
- Invent experts, grants or results, or rank anyone because they paid.
- Share anything about you without your explicit consent.
