04 — Matchmaking Protocol

How a project moves from intake to matched lists to the owner’s independent selection on each track. The point is to make the process predictable, transparent, and even-handed — which is why the tie-breakers used when a matching set is too large are published here rather than held internally, so participants can see exactly how the program decides. Covers the nine operating principles, where projects come from, the five-point intake screen (including the energy-tie requirement for water and resiliency measures), the two-track election, and the three service levels on each track: directory access, curated matchmaking, and structured process. MGB does not pick a winner on either track, does not negotiate for the owner, and does not recommend terms.
