Potential matches
Who ARC thinks may suit you, and the reason it thinks so.
Nothing here has been sent to anybody. This is ARC saying “look at this one” — the next move is still yours.
A member number and a specialist code are different participants and get different answers. The matcher will not guess which one is asking.
Two questions, kept apart
A strong answer to one of these says nothing at all about the other.
The register asks who offers a capability and who needs it. The commercial match asks whether a specialist’s ideal client is actually you. They are different questions about different things, so ARC never blends them into one number.
The demand board is the third view: the same register read across everybody, naming nobody, so you can see what this community needs and cannot currently supply.
The eight-band match
Eight bands, and every one of them answered in words.
A band meets when both sides answered and the answers agree. A specialist may say they serve anyone — that is a statement, not an agreement. A band clashes when both answered and they conflict. And a band nobody ever answered is never stated, which is the thing a single blended score would quietly hide.
The register
Who wants what you offer. Who offers what you need.
The counts are exact. The names are not always shown, and that is consent working rather than a quietly short list: you can see a person if they made their profile public, if you share a community, or if they registered the opposite side of this exact tag.
So “six want this, you can see two” is the truthful answer. A page that silently showed you the two would be telling you there are two.
Demand board
What this community needs and cannot currently supply.
Aggregated across the whole register, naming nobody. Gap is wants minus offers, and a positive gap is the most actionable number ARC produces — a capability people are asking for that nobody here has.
This is the one view on the page that is about ARC rather than about you.
Coverage
Read this before calling anything above broken.
An empty matcher and a broken matcher look identical from the outside. These are the live counts the matchers actually run over, so a zero above can be checked against a reason here instead of guessed at.
Every figure is read from the database when this page loads. If that read fails this panel says so, rather than showing zeros.
