Every contractor that opens an engagement has completed a readiness assessment, sized their opportunity, and committed to a timeline. They are not learning what they need on the call.
Bridger contractors are pre-qualified by readiness — they've sized their target opportunity and committed to a market-entry timeline. They land in your inbox briefed, with the readiness gap diagnosed. You scope against real context, not a discovery call.

The matching engine routes by specific capability — C3PAO accreditation, FOCI mitigation experience, ITAR registration, AUKUS familiarity. Generic 'IT services' providers don't get routed for FOCI work; the specialists do.
The platform takes 10% on completed engagements; you keep 90%. Payouts via Stripe Connect Express. No invoicing chase, no platform-side payment delays.

Your provider profile is what the matching engine reads. Specialties, NAICS coverage, geographic availability, target client size, rate range. Edit anytime; updates push to ranking immediately.
When a contractor's readiness assessment surfaces a gap that matches your specialty, you get an inbound lead with their cap statement, target opportunity, and the diagnosed gap. You scope against the readiness diagnostic, not a cold conversation.
The engagement workspace tracks scope, milestones, deliverables, and messages. Status changes route notifications to both sides. The contractor's workspace mirrors yours, so nobody loses the thread.
On milestone completion, the contractor releases payment through the platform. Stripe Connect Express handles the payout to your linked account. Bridger retains 10% as a platform fee; your 90% lands in 1–2 business days.

Contractors trust the marketplace because we vet. We check OFAC + BIS Entity List, verify credentials (C3PAO, ITAR registration, professional licenses where applicable), and require evidence of past client work. Decline rate is meaningful — the bar is genuine practitioner credibility.
