I am interested to hear more. I think I have a vague understanding of the problem but can you clarify your solution ? I am still a bit confused about what you mean by "cross-pollination of ideas and practices while enforcing various levels of privacy". Maybe providing an example will also be helpful.

Thanks for your interest. Please refer to my answer to stewark, it explains that part.

But i can add that privacy handling can be a barrier to collaboration. Then finding a balance between scopes of knowledge or ideas/plans sharing is important so as not to annihilate collaborating potential losing efficiency/time/money but still be able to choose whom we share things with. xCollabr should enable teams to do just that.

For example: A team working on hydroponics culture in New York can share their current ideas/pratices with all teams they've connected with on the platform, or "all teams working in AI in New York" , things like that.

Here sharing means "make discoverable". So that when someone's is using xCollabr, he can only see or search through what he's allowed access to. That way many teams can find complementarities in their plans/approach and start a deep collaboration on something.

Oh I see, it's actually a very good concept. I started a bunch of organizations on my campus and using that I could have easily learnt from other organizations what worked/didn't work instead of re-discovering everything by myself. Nice !
