O wisdom of Mastodon,

As part of a project aimed at making direct democracy accessible to the widest possible audience, I’m looking for an online platform that can convene a citizens’ jury selected by lottery from its registered users.

Essential criteria:

* a truly random, verifiable draw;
* ability to configure multiple topics (use cases: NGOs, political movements, local governments, etc.);
* secure, moderatable deliberation spaces;
* export of results in report form.

If you know of a tool (preferably open-source) that meets these requirements, or if you have first-hand experience, please share your references and feedback in the comments. Thank you in advance!
