The proposal description hides key competitive information
The outline has the correct level of detail
The partner search is relevant for the Transport community

→ Granting the PS a QL will add a label next to the PS showing it has been checked by the Quality Team and approved.

14. Step 4 – EOI (Expression of Interest)
Once PS is Published – Users in the system are welcome to express their interest in partnering with the Proposer.
