How Sprig works

Every photo starts as a color aura, for everyone, both ways. It sharpens as the two of you build clarity: a per-pair score from 0 to 100.

Clarity comes from exactly four things: answering the same questions (+3 each), messages that get replies (+5 per exchange, capped at +25 — talking helps, it can't carry), guessing their interests right (+10), and mutual interest (+10). Their 2nd photo unlocks at 25, the 3rd at 45.

Your match % measures how well you fit each other's stated preferences, in both directions at once. It's only high when you each accept what the other is, weighted by how much each question matters.

The tiers are strict. 80+ is rare. "Fair" (40–59) means gaps: roughly half of someone's stated preferences unmet. Other apps would flatter you here. We won't.

Under 20 shared answers the math can't be confident yet, so the score is labeled an early read, and a built-in margin of error keeps thin data from inflating anyone's number.

A 45% on 8 shared questions isn't a verdict. It's a rumor. The fastest way to confirm or kill it is answering more of the questions they've answered.

You commit to your answer before seeing anyone else's, so nobody can answer their way into a fake 99%. And you can't claim a question matters while refusing to say which answers you'd accept: skip that step and the question counts for nothing.

Changing an answer has a 24-hour cooldown, so profiles can't shapeshift for whoever's watching. Questions span six pillars, and every profile shows where you two line up and where you don't.
