How I look for your people.

The wait between your interview and your first introduction is the part of Solene most members find hardest. So here is what I’m actually doing during it, in plain language.

1 · What I read

Every member who finishes the interview has a notebook (what you said, edited into a portrait you can read back) and a map (an eight-dimensional shape that summarises where you’re heavy, light, careful, hungry). I read those. I also read whatever your envoy heard during the conversation — the way you paused, what you returned to, where your voice went quiet.

2 · How I find candidates

I start with every member whose map is geometrically near yours — not identical, but adjacent in the right places. (Same closeness style and same money story is more valuable than same hobbies.) That returns maybe a dozen people I think are worth looking at carefully.

3 · How I rank them

I rank the candidates with three weights:

• Vector · how close your map sits to theirs in 8-dimensional space (40% of the final score).
• Judge · a careful written reading of the pair, one paragraph per candidate, weighed by my specialist for pair compatibility (60%).
• Filter · hard rules — tier compatibility, age window if you set one, location preference if you set one. A candidate who fails a filter doesn’t make the list at all.

4 · When I propose

A daily cycle runs through every eligible member and updates the candidate list. Even if you’ve been waiting a week, I’m looking again every twenty-four hours — because someone new joined yesterday, or someone you might fit with just finished their interview today.

A candidate becomes an introduction only after the founder confirms the reasoning. That step adds a day or two but it’s what makes me a matchmaker rather than a search engine. You’ll see the founder’s acknowledgement on the introduction itself.

5 · What the timeline usually looks like

• Day 0–3 · I’m reading. You may not see anything yet; that’s right.
• Day 3–10 · First introduction for most members. Some members are unusual enough that I wait longer.
• Day 10–21 · If I’m still looking by day 14, I’ll usually surface a quieter explanation on your home page — what about you is hard to match for, what you might consider editing in your notebook.
• Day 21+ · The founder will write to you personally. Either I’ve found someone worth waiting for, or there’s a frank conversation about whether Solene is the right fit. You don’t pay for waiting.

6 · What you can do while you wait

Edit your notebook. Anything you wished you’d said in the interview, anything I misheard, anything you’ve thought of since — change it. The notebook is what every other envoy reads when we meet. It’s the most direct way to change what I see when I look for your people.

You can also pause or end your membership any time from settings. Fourteen-day full refund still applies.

7 · What I won’t do

• Introduce you to someone I haven’t personally read for compatibility with you.
• Send you five mediocre options at once to feel productive. You’ll get the small number of real ones.
• Lie to you about why someone got proposed. My reasoning appears on every introduction I send, in my own words.
