Location matters
Discovery results must be verified against the current rules and administering bodies for the actual project location.
01 / Discover
Resolve what may apply.
Start with location, sponsor, intended outcome, type, stage, cost, and known funding. These facts narrow which jurisdictions, programs, utilities, approvals, and participants deserve review.
- Local applicability
- Current sources
- Project-specific context
02 / Prepare
Make missing work visible.
Requirements, evidence, approvals, dependencies, amounts, and decisions remain distinct so a team can see what is complete, unresolved, or blocked.
- Evidence gaps
- Approval dependencies
- Responsible next action
03 / Control
Keep one attributable project record.
The planned Project Passport would preserve source, actor, date, verification state, visibility, and change history. Saving and sharing are unavailable in this guidance-only release.
- Sponsor permission
- Attributable facts
- Reversible sharing
04 / Compare
Compare pathways without paid ranking.
Program and provider fit follows disclosed criteria and project facts. Commercial relationships cannot improve eligibility, readiness, verification, publication, or placement.
- Criteria-based comparison
- Visible limits
- No pay-to-rank
Recurring blockers
Resolve these before relying on a pathway.
- Unverified location
- Evidence without a responsible source
- Prospective funding mislabeled as committed
