Matching Algorithm

Accerlerist algorithim is weighted based on the industry best practices and dual-sided customer input. The weights are segmented for the purposes of public consumption and knowledge into five differently-weighted categories – ranking from 1 – 5

We use the profile information of the NPO to then assign priority ranking to the companies.  Areas such as mission information, SDG alignment, address, etc all are weighted in, with Mission and SDG goals carrying some of the highest weight.
