Example Match Explanation
MapleBridge should match by buyer type, product category, MOQ, sample policy, and Canada-relevant export readiness instead of directory browsing.
This is a matching-first page, not a supplier directory. A good shortlist should explain why a supplier fits the buyer intent, what evidence is still missing, and what should be checked before a sample or deposit.
