Some challenges ask you to estimate your idea’s impact, such as the money or time it would save. If yours does, your idea has an impact section. The impacts to choose from and their value ranges are set by the challenge.

1. 1

   In the impact section of your idea, click Begin impact statement. The impacts are grouped into categories, each showing how many you’ve selected, such as 0 / 1 impacts selected.

If none of the values fits, some challenges offer Other, where you enter your own under Define value. Some also ask how often the impact happens, under Impact frequency, such as once or every year.

The impact statement is saved separately from the rest of your idea. You can change it until you submit your idea; after that it’s locked. Challenge managers may later add their own estimates and the final outcome.
