prequalifying
Checking eligibility first
Prequalifying is determining in advance whether someone or something meets basic requirements.
In lending, it means assessing a borrower's creditworthiness before formal application: We got prequalified for a mortgage before house hunting.
In sales and contracting, prequalifying identifies prospects or bidders worth pursuing: The agency prequalifies vendors before inviting proposals.
