Right. Worldwide nonprofit<\/strong>, not national. That changes the scale of the architecture in an important way.<\/p>\n

The platform isn\u2019t just solving \u201chow do we keep 100 U.S. chapters on-brand?\u201d It\u2019s solving how one global organization can support local chapters across different countries, schools, communities, languages, legal contexts, and resource environments without fragmenting the identity.<\/p>\n

That makes the central-authority\/local-projection model even more important:<\/p>\n
