Why the system connected them
A lead worth checking.

What the map cannot know
Three questions before anyone acts.
01 · AccuracyDo these organizations still exist, and are their proposed roles described correctly?
02 · ConsentDo they want to be discoverable and introduced in this way?
03 · FitIs there a real local need, trust, and capacity for this circuit—or only geographic proximity?
