FAQs

Can a provider stay hidden from applicants?

Yes. Providers can use hidden or controlled visibility and reveal identity only through a named introduction workflow.

How does Capacity Network reduce unsuitable approaches?

Provider appetite profiles are matched against class, GWP, distribution, geography, maturity, exclusions and evidence readiness.
