Engagement eligibility

Some contexts require a manual review without depriving the visitor of useful content.

Decide before proposing

The eligibility review checks whether the mandate can be accepted in the countries, with the parties and in the format envisaged.

The eligibility review answers a simple question before any commitment is made: can the mandate be contracted, insured and delivered in the countries and format envisaged?

A reasoned response

The decision states the conditions met, the checks still required and the precise reason for any impossibility.

Eligibility decision

A manual review clarifies the possible conditions instead of promising premature intervention.
