specialization_fitSpecialization Fit
How closely the contractor's service types, domain tags, and case studies overlap with the buyer's signal context and inferred needs.
size_fitSize / Capacity Fit
Whether the contractor's team size and delivery capacity is appropriate for the scale implied by the buyer signal.
tz_overlap_fitTimezone Overlap Fit
Real timezone-overlap arithmetic against pack work-hours: ≥6h scores 1.0, brackets down to <1h at 0.15. Bonus for buyer-preferred regions; hard zero for excluded country codes.
geographic_fitGeographic Fit
Country/region proximity between the contractor and the buyer or triggering signal's jurisdiction — same country scores 1.0, same region 0.65, otherwise 0.3 (never zero: cross-region outsourcing is a legitimate delivery model, this ranks it rather than gating it out).
jurisdiction_fitJurisdiction Fit
Legal-jurisdiction match for the buyer/signal's forum country. For this pack it also gates: a contractor with no legal presence in the jurisdiction of a public tender (tender_opened signals) is excluded from the shortlist, not merely ranked lower.
signal_specific_fitSignal-Specific Fit
Relevance of the contractor's track record and domain tags to the specific signal type that triggered the match, factoring in signal strength, recency decay, and compound-pattern boost.
language_fitLanguage Fit
Jaccard similarity between the buyer's required and preferred working languages and the contractor's declared languages. Empty buyer preferences default to a neutral 0.5.
availability_fitAvailability Fit
Derived from the contractor's self-declared availability hint — actively looking (1.0), open to projects (0.85), limited (0.55), booked (0.05), unknown (0.5). Declarations older than 30 days are discounted.
pricing_fitPricing Fit
Match between the buyer's preferred cost tier and the contractor's declared cost tier. Exact match scores 1.0; each pricing tier away reduces the score.
performance_historyPerformance HistoryREGISTERED ONLY
Contractor's historical match-to-engagement and match-to-deal conversion rates from prior Beolta introductions. Applies only to registered contractors with sufficient history.
mismatch_feedback_penaltyMismatch Feedback Penalty
Negative adjustment applied for every verified buyer mismatch report in the last 90 days. Capped so the composite cannot go below zero.
freshness_multiplierFreshness Multiplier
Multiplicative factor applied to the composite score after all dimension aggregation. Scores 1.0 when all required profile fields are under 90 days old; decays linearly to the pack floor as data ages toward 365 days.
