POC Readiness Checkpoint (v7)

1. Your Costs at Home

This tells us whether a season abroad could actually save you money.

1. My current monthly cost of living at home is closest to:

Under $3,000

$3,000–$5,000

Above $5,000

2. How much financial pressure do you feel in maintaining your standard of living?

High — I feel the squeeze clearly

Some — I want more breathing room

Low — I am mainly curious

3. If a lower-cost region helped you live just as well, your interest would be:

Strong — I want to seriously explore it

Moderate — I would look at it carefully

Light — I am only browsing for now

2. Practical Readiness

Some answers matter more than others. If the basics are not in place, this will not work yet.

4. Passport and key travel documents:

Ready — valid and in good order

Needs some updating or checking

Not ready right now

5. My home situation while away would be:

Manageable — I can leave it with little difficulty

Possible — but I need planning first

Difficult — I cannot realistically leave right now

6. Independent mobility:

This first trial season is best suited to people who can get around comfortably on their own.

I am independently mobile

I have some limitations and would need to discuss fit

This would likely not be suitable for me right now

7. Availability during the December–February Proof of Concept season:

Available — I could make 1–3 months work

Possibly — but planning is needed

Not realistic for me this year

3. Mindset

This matters — just less than the money and the practical side.

8. Which statement fits you best right now?

I prefer to try carefully before making bigger decisions

I need more clarity before deciding anything

I am only gathering general information right now

9. For a first stay, having our team's support on the ground would feel:

Helpful — I would value that support

Optional — I could use some help if needed

Not important to me

10. In one or two sentences, what would make this worth exploring for you?

Could This Work for You?
