ForceDecision it changes
A small feasible start and relevant varietyA bounded group permits careful matching; selecting only familiar enthusiasts can hide missing perspectives and conditions.
Mutuality and unequal contributionsParticipants can benefit in different ways and at different times; immediate repayment requirements can exclude useful participation.
Organising support and independent initiativeEarly preparation can enable a relationship, while invisible constant prompting can conceal dependence.
Quality of help and willingness to helpA willing participant may lack the relevant competence; an expert may have no available time or permission.
Reach and usable attentionMore invitees increase possible connections, but also unanswered requests, preparation and moderation burden.
