I think this is related to mentoring process.
Until we have few mentors to manage a lot of candidates, we can't fix so
much.

The meaning is reversing the ambassador process, did I completely
understand?

This is interesting, but, as said, until mentors are few, this is not
the solution.

IMHO if we create a filter in every country where experienced ambassador
(selected by regions) may consider the candidates, with steps like the
ambassador process, the mentor commitment will be easier.

In this case, the mentors have to discuss only with the "filter"
ambassador.
