OWNER-APPROVED NEED CARD

Control exactly what leaves your ranch.

This is the narrow first matching workflow. Aridon identifies a real need, you approve the problem card, then you decide separately whether matching, context, an introduction, contact or follow-up are allowed.

Matching uses the minimum derived signals needed for practical fit, including geography and season. Sensitive source facts are not exposed as a ranking explanation.

Disclosure preview & permissions

Audience: a vetted water-help candidate serving the approved region. Purpose: explore help for this specific project. Permission expires after this request unless you approve another use.

Anonymous matching
Use derived signals to look for relevant help without revealing your identity or private facts.Limited context
Allow the approved need card below to be shown to a candidate after a possible match is found.Introduction request
Allow Aridon to ask the candidate whether they want an introduction.Direct contact
Share your approved contact details only after both sides approve the introduction.Follow-up
Allow follow-up after the introduction. This is separate and is off by default.

Candidate types first, identities second.

Aridon first returns a small set of useful categories such as local institution, vetted commercial specialist, peer operator, university/research partner, funding partner or implementation provider. You choose whether to request a limited-context introduction. No raw profile exchange.

After an introduction, Aridon stores only an audit receipt and minimum task state. Follow-up is not automatic. The owner decides whether to continue.
