Stated plan

Trade queens with Qxe5 to neutralize the tactical pressure on d4 and simplify favorably.

Resolves to g3e5 · −2cp

Reasoning

Black's knight on c2 combined with the queen on e5 doubly attacks the knight on d4 (only defended once by c3), so Nxd4/cxd4/Qxd4 would win White a pawn. The cleanest solution is to eliminate the black queen with Qxe5. After Rxe5 recaptures, the rook cannot recapture on d4 diagonally, so the tactical threat disappears and White simplifies into an equal, safe position after trading queens.
