(Preferred (British) spelling of what in the US is spelled “inquiry”.)

This is central to the whole RegenCHOICE system. Any chooser, who we will call “enquirer” Enquirers specify what they want through what we call an “enquiry”, which specifies what they are looking for both in the other chooser and/or in the relationship with that other chooser. Other parties are also making enquiries, and many of them will be left “standing” on the system. It is only when each chooser's answers fit with the other party's requirements that a result is displayed.

Each enquiry has a particular enquiry type, distinguishing between a few different kinds of enquiry.
