         1. A match requires the companies to be the SAME organisation, not just similar names
-        2. "Families First CiC" is NOT the same as "FAMILIES AGAINST CONFORMITY LTD" - these are different organisations
-        3. "North Halifax Partnership" is NOT the same as "NORTH LIMITED" - completely different companies
-        4. Trading names should match their registered entity (e.g., "Tesco" matches "TESCO PLC")
-        5. Subsidiaries can match if clearly the same organisation (e.g., "ASDA" could match "ASDA STORES LIMITED")
-        6. If NO candidate is clearly the same company, return "NONE" as the best match

+        6. CiC/CIC = Community Interest Company, LLP = Limited Liability Partnership - these are legal suffixes
+        7. If the CV name contains all the key words of a candidate (ignoring Ltd/Limited/CIC/etc.), it's likely a match
+        8. If NO candidate is clearly the same company, return "NONE" as the best match
