A controlled page or group with named administrators, multi-factor authentication and succession.
An opportunity template specifying community need, requested expertise, time, conflicts and responsible owner.

Verified opportunities published
Follow-up: Check each introduction after 30 days, record only the community outcome needed for evaluation and close opportunities when the owner or need is no longer active.
