Flow
Qualified demand → available supply → discovery → mutual acceptance → completed outcome → repeat
Inputs
Define the micro-market, window, demand unit, available-supply unit, relevant-match criterion, acceptable time, and completion event.
Procedure
Test each transition in order and keep one-sided actions separate from mutual acceptance and completed outcomes. Treat the diagnosis as a hypothesis that requires a test, not as proof.
Common failure
Adding sellers to a micro-market with insufficient qualified demand does not address the binding constraint and may create more unmatched supply.
