Understand mentor review status and recommendation

Pending review, Responded and Closed describe the conversation. Pursue, Discuss and Pass are the mentor's recommendation.

A badge shows on each mentor review. It tells you the state of the conversation or the mentor's advice. The mentor's advice replaces the state when the mentor gives it.

What the badges mean

BadgeWhat it means
Pending reviewYou sent the item. The mentor has not answered yet.
RespondedThe mentor answered. The mentor gave no recommendation word.
ClosedThe conversation is over. You cannot reply.
PursueThe mentor advises you to go on with the opportunity.
DiscussThe mentor wants to talk it through with you before you decide.
PassThe mentor advises you to skip the opportunity.

Where else you see the state

  • The opportunity page shows "Mentor reviewing · view in Mentors →" while the review is pending. It shows "Mentor responded · view in Mentors →" after the answer.
  • Your Pipeline shows a card in the Mentor review column. It reads Open thread, or Read reply when a new answer waits.

Example

A member sends a job to a mentor. The badge reads Pending review. A day later the badge reads Discuss. The mentor wrote that the bond is a risk. The member replies with a question about the bond.

What the badges cannot tell you

  • A recommendation is advice from one person at one time. The notice can change after the answer.
  • Pursue is not a promise of a win. It means the mentor sees no reason to stop.
  • Pass does not close the opportunity. You can still choose to bid.

✅ What to do next: Read the mentor's words in the thread. See Find and read a mentor-review conversation. To ask a follow-up question, see Reply to a mentor and attach a file.
