What is usable marketplace supply?

Short answer

Supply is usable when an organization is eligible, verified, available and capable for the specific request. A raw partner count cannot show whether a customer has a realistic connection.

An illustrative example

Five agencies exist but none fits one customer's state.

This is a hypothetical situation, not a real customer outcome or a coverage determination.

Three facts to prepare

  • Verified state
  • Customer type
  • Current capacity

Use a brief, accurate summary. Separate confirmed facts from assumptions; keep passwords, identity numbers, private customer records and confidential documents out of an initial marketplace request.

A question to bring to the right professional

How many partners actually qualify for this request's facts?

Keep actual capability separate from future interest. Marketplace eligibility describes whether an approved organization can responsibly handle a request; it is not an insurer's underwriting decision or a promised quote. Updating limits and pauses promptly protects customers and improves the meaning of marketplace supply.

Sources and scope

Sources supply the stated background, not a determination about the illustrative case. The example, checklist and discussion prompt are LunarQuote educational material. Source links checked October 5, 2026.

Your next step

Describe your agency's real capability and availability. Customer sharing requires independent licensing verification and the applicable agreement. Early access is free; approval does not guarantee opportunities.
