- Project contribution is quantified by predefined metrics (files shared, tasks closed, comments posted).
- Collaboration methods are limited to video calls, chat, and shared documents.
- Entries must flag technical issues (connection drop, tool inaccessibility) and session attendance.
- Maximum of one log entry per volunteer per session.
