- data agency (import, export, control)
- providing a trusted space (cultural vs technological methods)
- Comparisons

- Managing varying levels of participation
- Managing dissapointment in performance
- DEEP DIVE: integrate real world interaction (e.g., call me up)
- Encourage participation thru incentivization
- Data availability - now!
- Ease of use
- fun!
- Tutorials / Onboarding help (where to start)
- mobile first
- Facilitate learning w/out a new tool
