How the panel works
- One intake, ongoing flow. Respond once; the platform routes you every matching project after that.
- Confidential both ways. Terms, pricing, and capabilities are never shared across the panel.
- No pay-to-play. Placement is earned on capability, responsiveness, and terms — never a listing fee.
- Projects arrive complete. Specs, custody status, and compliance posture are resolved before work is routed.
