My pre-check failed or was cancelled — what do I do?

Quick answer: Open the project. The page says Something went wrong (or Review cancelled) with the reason. Click Try again — no charge. When a review fails on our side, its credits come back to you automatically, so the retry costs nothing.

Steps

  1. Go to Projects and open the project with the Failed status.

  2. Read the message under Something went wrong. If there's no specific reason, it says "The analysis encountered an error. Credits were refunded automatically."

    The Something went wrong card with the error message and the Try again — no charge button

  3. Click Try again — no charge. The review restarts on the same project with the same plans.

  4. If the retry fails the same way, the plan file itself may be the problem — for example, a damaged PDF or a set with missing sheets. Export a fresh PDF and start a New Project with it.

City-sponsored PreCheck

A sponsored review has no credit charge. CrossBeam handles a failed sponsored run; applicants may continue to see it processing while it is recovered. If a sponsored review is cancelled, it shows PreCheck cancelled. Contact support with the project link if it needs attention.

When to contact support

  • The retry fails again with the same message.
  • The project says your credits were refunded, but your balance didn't go back up.

Contact support with the project name and the message you see.
