What makes the cut

Before appending, screen the opportunity against three filters: (1) does it touch identity intervention / talent development / postsecondary readiness, (2) can founding_up respond as prime or named sub within the timeline, (3) is the dollar value and probability worth Dan's review. If unsure, append it anyway with status scouting and flag for triage.
