Search

The work of finding the right person.

Five Phases. Five Signals. Nine Intents. The architecture of how connections form, hold, and progress — observed across more than a decade of matchmaking practice and refined into method.

This is one arm of the integrated system. Begin with the Connection Code to take all three assessments together.

Open the Connection Code

The frame

Method, not luck.

Most failed connections trace to a missed Signal. The Search arm names the architecture — the Phases connections move through, the Signals each Phase produces, and the Intents that calibrate why the work is being done at all.

The user does not need to be a methodology practitioner to benefit from the framework. The architecture surfaces what the body and the early-dating cycle were already doing — the Search arm makes the patterns visible so the user can act from chosen ground rather than from spike-reactivity.

The framework is the methodology. The methodology is the work.

The architecture

Phase. Signal. Intent.

Three axes of the same architecture. Every connection lives at the intersection of all three.

Five Phases

The arc of how connections form and hold.

Intent · Profile · Connection · Courtship · Commitment. Every connection moves through them. Most users skip Phases unconsciously; the framework names the skipped Phases so they can be inhabited consciously.

Five Signals

The information each Phase produces.

Intent · Position · Open · Build · Progress. The Signals are how Phase movement becomes legible. The Search arm Reading establishes the user's initial Position Signal in eight minutes.

Begin the Intent Assessment

Nine Intents

Why the Search is being done.

Long-term · Marriage · Fall in Love · Casual · Friendship · Companionship · Not Sure · Short-term · Open to All. The Intent class calibrates everything else; the framework holds them all without preference.

Studio AI activates the Search

The methodology, applied to the Search context.

Studio AI surfaces the Search-context tools that operate the methodology in real situations. Coach AI for the moment-to-moment questions. Script Builder for the calibrated invitation, the hard conversation, the chosen reply. Suitability for the read-fit-before-time-commitment work the framework asks the user to do before deeper engagement.

  • Coach AI Ask a methodology-grounded question about the Search context; receive an answer cited to the Playbook chapter that grounds the response. The Coach surfaces the framework; the user does the work.
  • Script Builder Invocation of the methodology's communication frameworks (Active Listening, Naming-Observation-Feeling-Request, Boundary Conversation, Repair Attempt, others) calibrated to the user's Reading location and the situation pattern.
  • Suitability Methodology-grounded read of fit between the user and a potential connection. Pattern recognition without prediction; descriptive without prescription.

The Studio AI tools are activation, not substitution. The framework is what does the work; the tools surface the framework in real situations.
