# Pentest Statuses

You can track every pentest in Catchify using status labels. Each status reflects the current stage of the engagement and who is responsible for the next action.

* **Requested** – You’ve submitted a request and are discussing the scope, timeline, and budget
* **Quoted** – Catchify has reviewed your request and shared a proposal including cost, testing duration, and start availability

  > You can approve the quote, suggest changes, or hold off until you're ready
* **Scheduled** – The pentest has been approved and is locked in to begin on a specific date
* **Onboarding** – Project kickoff begins. Asset access, permissions, and environment handoff take place
* **In Progress** – The pentest is underway. You’ll receive updates as findings are discovered
* **Remediation** – Findings are delivered. Your team can begin remediation and request retesting
* **Offboarding** – Final review, report handoff, and scheduling for future tests
* **Done** – The pentest is complete and closed
* **Canceled** – The request or project was canceled before or during execution

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.catchify.sa/portal-guide/pentest-management/pentest-statuses.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
