Algorithmic matching / suggestions

• Defer until we have more information from the client

Things we need

• Have several varied examples of "optimal teams", "good" teams, and "bad" teams divided by specialization
• Aside from specialization and dates, what other attributes will make a difference for coordinating teams?
• Should we match teams based off of predefined team distributions, or should we account for alternative distributions. In other words, if a host requests specific specializations, is there a way we can input this preference as data to make our algorithm more intelligent or to create a posting targetting specific individuals
