Closing the book

Every match ends with an answer. Every answer makes the next match better.

When a match is over, either of you records how it went. That's how you get your next match, and it's how the matching learns what actually leads to good working relationships.

What counts as an outcome

ItemOutcomesFollow-up
HiringHired, or closedCheck-ins at 30 days, 90 days and a year
Project workAwarded and completed, or closedOn time, on budget, quality, would you work together again
Mentoring, peers, trade partnersWorking together, good contact, not a fit, flaked, ghostedA check-in at two months
Co-founders"We're partners", or the networking outcomesCheck-ins at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months
CirclesRecommit every three months, or leaveA private rating after each meeting

What happens when you close

A short private review

Why it closed (if the outcome doesn't say), did they match their profile, how they treated the people around you, and whether anything felt unsafe or unfair. Skippable. Never shown to the other person.

Never told which

The other person never learns which outcome you picked. "Not a fit", "flaked" and "ghosted" mean the two of you are never matched again.

Flaking counts only as a pattern

One person's report changes nothing. It takes reports from more than one person before anyone's matches slow down.

Observed beats claimed

What people observe at meetups gradually outweighs what members claim about themselves.

A nudge, not an accusation

If several people flag a detail of your profile as out of date, you get a neutral prompt to fix it. It never says anyone flagged anything.

What's limiting your matches

The app can tell you which of your settings narrows your matches most, like a minimum pay or a schedule. Never a protected or identity answer.

How the matching learns

Each month, for hiring and networking, the app looks at which parts of a match went with good outcomes among people who actually met: a confirmed hire, a second meeting, working together. It then nudges how much each part counts, in small steps and within fixed limits.

Before any update goes live, it's tested: the app re-ranks real matches under the old and new settings and compares groups with the 4/5ths rule. An update that would make any group worse off below that line is blocked and never applied. Every applied update is logged.

No protected trait, age, gender or audit answer is ever read by the learning. More on fairness
