Behind the Curtain
How matching works
No black box. Here is exactly what goes into the number on a match — and what it doesn’t.
The short version
Three signals, weighted
Every match score blends three things: how you answered questions (the heart of it), how you each think (your Myers–Briggs type), and how your birth charts relate (astrology).
When all three are present we weight them 70% questions, 15% personality type, and 15% astrology. With only two signals it’s 80/20 in favour of questions; with questions alone, it’s simply your answers. Questions always lead — the cosmos only ever breaks a tie.
The heart of it
Your answers, both directions
For every question you both answered, we ask two questions of our own: would you accept their answer, and would they accept yours? Each answer carries the weight you gave it — from “doesn’t matter” up to “essential.”
That gives two directional scores: how well they suit you, and how well you suit them. We combine them with a geometric mean — the square root of one times the other — so a match only scores high when it works both ways. A one-sided fit can’t fake a great score.
You need at least three shared questions before a score appears. The more you answer, the sharper and more trustworthy every match becomes.
The other side of the coin
The enemy score
Next to compatibility we show an “enemy” percentage: the share of questions where neither of you would accept the other’s answer, weighted by whichever of you cared more. It’s the honest counterweight to the match score — two people can be both quite compatible and quite combustible, and you deserve to see both.
Reading the number
What the tiers mean
Soulmate is 95% and up; Exceptional 85–94; Great 70–84; Good 50–69; Mixed 30–49; and Low below 30. A confidence level sits alongside it so you can tell “we don’t have enough data yet” apart from “we have plenty, and it’s a poor fit.”
Your stars, your call
Astrology is opt-in, per person
Astrology nudges the ranking for everyone, but the detailed read — your Moon, your Rising, the Vedic Guna Milan table — is private until you choose to share it with a particular match. You decide each time: nothing, just your Big Three (Sun, Moon, Rising), or your full chart. They decide separately about you. Both of you have to opt in before the deep comparison appears.
That’s the whole recipe. The more you tell us about yourself, the better every one of these signals gets.
