Review and send

Only the practitioner and Picela admins will be able to read this. Your files are stored privately. Their email notification doesn't include your invention details. After you send it, Picela's AI also does a quick private pre-check you can both read.

I understand who can see my invention, and I'm sending it to this practitioner to get a quote.
