Evidence before introduction
A matching process you can audit.
The job is not to produce a fast-looking shortlist. It is to connect a real brief to currently relevant, evidence-backed delivery capacity without inventing certainty.
1. Freeze the brief
Capture the business outcome, scope, stack, timing, budget, constraints, and acceptance criteria. A vague brief is not eligible evidence of a successful match.
2. Verify the candidate for this opportunity
Review relevant work evidence and current availability. A historical record, seed profile, taxonomy page, or old conversation does not establish current fit.
3. Introduce only with permission
When the candidate is relevant and available, confirm both sides want the connection and facilitate the intro. If no qualified fit can be presented, follow the accepted no-fit/refund path.
What counts as candidate evidence
- Work evidence relevant to the requested outcome.
- Current availability for the buyer's actual timeline.
- Identity and contact path that can be verified.
- Permission for the introduction; separate permission for any public profile.
Timing is an observed service metric, not a magic promise.
The match window should be measured from eligible brief to evidence-backed, permissioned candidate delivery.
Until current capacity and delivery performance establish a dependable SLA, the public site should not guarantee one.
