An opportunity belongs to a project owner. The opportunity is one-way and belongs to only one project owner. Because different organisations may have different matching rules, it is possible that an opportunity is only created for one organisation. The following examples show how different matching rules (indicted by the dashed lines) might will result in different opportunities being created. (Where two projects meet the opportunity rules for both organisations, two opportunities will be created; one for each project owner.)
1. Opportunity created only for Project A
- Buffer A overlaps Project B
- Buffer B does not overlap Project A
- An opportunity will be created for the owner of Project A for Project B
- An opportunity will not be created for Project B
2. Opportunity created only for Project B
- Buffer B overlaps Project A
- Buffer A does not overlap Project A
- An opportunity will be created for the owner of Project B for Project A
- An opportunity will not be created for Project A
3. Opportunity created only for both Project A and Project B
- Buffer A overlaps Project B
- Buffer B overlaps Project A
- An opportunity will be created for the owner of Project A for Project B
- An opportunity will be created for the owner of Project B for Project A
