INSIDE KNOQ · OUR PRODUCT RECORD

Product principles
and development history.

The idea we are building, the choices behind it, and the milestones we can substantiate.

KNOQ is being built to connect households and businesses that need local help with independent trades and service professionals who have the skills and time to offer it.

Both sides have a choice. A useful connection needs agreement.

THE PRINCIPLES

Useful for both sides.

01

Make room for choice

Homes and businesses choose the help they need. Independent professionals choose their availability, coverage and the requests that suit their business.

02

Respect the commitment

Availability starts the conversation. Professional acceptance is required for a booking. A quote visit does not commit either party to the quoted work.

03

Keep privacy in the journey

The planned experience limits when precise location is shared. Live travel progress stops at arrival, before completion or review.

04

Start local and learn

Interest across Perth’s northern suburbs helps shape the local trial. Evidence from households, businesses and independent professionals should guide what comes next.

Independent professionals set their own prices and remain responsible for their credentials, insurance and work. Optional memberships do not buy priority or guarantee work.

THE CONNECTED JOURNEY · PLANNED EXPERIENCE

From a need to an agreed next step.

This account draws together the journey already described on KNOQ’s website. Request choices are alternatives; the numbered stages show how a job is intended to progress.

  1. A home or business describes the need

    Choose the service and ask for help soon, arrange a time, or request a quote first. Those are three ways to begin, not three steps every request must take.

  2. A professional considers the fit

    The professional chooses their available time and service area, reviews the request and price information, and decides whether the work fits. They can accept, suggest another time or pass.

  3. Both sides agree what happens next

    A job can move forward when both sides agree. Availability and eligibility must be confirmed; a commitment requires professional acceptance. Without that acceptance, there is no booking. If nobody suitable is available immediately, another time or a quote can be explored.

  4. Location follows the commitment

    Before acceptance, the job location is approximate. Exact job details are released only after the introduction is confirmed, including any required KNOQ fee payment.

    See the current trial and pricing explanation for the applicable stage and conditions.

  5. Travel progress ends at arrival

    Once the accepted professional starts travelling, the customer can follow progress and estimated arrival time. Live-trip sharing stops when the professional arrives.

  6. The work is checked, then reviewed

    The planned journey continues through checking the work, confirming completion and leaving feedback tied to that KNOQ job. Completion and review do not extend live-trip sharing.

Availability and timing depend on suitable local supply and professional confirmation. For a question, correction or help with your expression of interest, contact KNOQ Support.

Watch or read the existing explanation

The 90-second film and transcript and four concept films with captions and transcripts explain the proposed experience. Their illustrations do not demonstrate a live marketplace.

CLEAR STATUS

What the demonstrations mean.

Public today
The website, professional and community expressions of interest, and enquiry routes. These are separate from booking services.
Planned and illustrated
The full request-to-review journey above. Concept films and phone-shaped illustrations explain the intended experience.
Development demonstrations
The website labels its Android completion and review screens as development screens, not live job information. They do not establish that the full journey is operational.
Private app preview
The current app privacy notice describes invited preview access to sign-in, account/profile synchronisation and catalogue browsing. New jobs, professional availability, payments and notification registration remain closed. Account deletion is not operational yet.

RECORDED MILESTONES

A dated account, with clear limits.

Official public website and expressions-of-interest launch

Password protection was removed from the public website pages. KNOQ’s preserved release-check records show successful anonymous access checks at approximately 5:06 pm AWST (UTC+8).

This milestone concerns the website and expressions of interest. Household bookings were still coming soon.

The check time is not the exact instant the password was removed.

This product record prepared

The first edition brings together existing public product descriptions, capability labels and the supported launch milestone. Prepared on 10 September 2026 and first published on 10 September 2026 (AWST).

Development and earlier sharing preceded the official launch. This record does not establish the earliest date on which any KNOQ idea or feature became public. Historical dates above refer to the events described, not the publication date of this page.
