Stated plainly — what this doesn't do
- — Only real Lifelong Careers members who opted in through consent-first onboarding appear here — the platform never invents or imports fake mentors.
- — Identity verification comes from authenticated member opt-in; deeper expertise verification arrives with the mentor review wave.
- — Source-listed is not the same as verified — the match shows its factors so you can judge.
- — A request waits until the mentor accepts; nothing is auto-confirmed.
