## Reviewed Summary

Both files describe 2IX.org as a civic-tech volunteer matching and durable project-memory platform. The strongest durable recommendations are:

- keep initial signup extremely light;
- let one account manage multiple organization workspaces and one optional volunteer profile;
- use progressive profile-completion indicators instead of required onboarding forms;
- allow simple no-profile volunteer opportunities when the organization can handle downstream screening;
- use structured participation requirements for tasks that need skills, proof artifacts, resumes, background checks, or organization-managed vetting;
- use an equitable SmartSort-style matching engine instead of popularity-only ranking;
- enforce Definition of Ready before marketplace exposure and Definition of Done before completion;
- decompose vague work into independently actionable tasks;
- base reputation on verified proof-of-work artifacts rather than star ratings;
- preserve ADRs, async updates, work logs, handoff notes, known limitations, setup notes, and testing evidence as project memory;
- give organization admins an operational queue for interest, follow-up, onboarding, engagement state, and handoff readiness.

## Disposition

This batch is not public 2IA.org content. It is cross-workspace product research for the separate 2IX platform under `WP/2IX\platform`.

No 2IA.org public routes, templates, theme copy, or editorial content were changed. The useful product direction was preserved in `WP/2IX\platform\docs\research-synthesis.md` and is already reflected by the 2IX platform implementation work: minimal signup, optional volunteer and organization profiles, participation requirements, express-interest flows, organization interest queue, matching engine, DoR/DoD gates, proof-of-work reputation, and project memory.

## Checks

- Source files hashed before archive.
- 2IX platform verification had already passed: format, typecheck, lint, tests, and build.
- 2IA.org Agent File Handoff audit should pass after the source files are moved out of the active `Improvement` bucket.
