Research Principles
PsyMatch uses evidence as a guardrail, not a branding prop. Research principles are meant to keep matching claims conservative, inspectable, and useful.
What PsyMatch measures
PsyMatch focuses on signals that help people evaluate alignment earlier: relationship intent, values, communication preferences, and broad personality patterns.
These signals are used to reduce noise and improve the quality of introductions, not to define a person completely.
What PsyMatch does not claim
PsyMatch does not claim to predict perfect relationships, guarantee chemistry, or replace judgment, consent, and conversation.
Compatibility outputs are directional aids that should be combined with observed behavior and direct discussion.
How evidence is reviewed
Methodology and editorial claims are reviewed against durable relationship and psychometrics research before they are promoted as product guidance.
When evidence is mixed, PsyMatch defaults to softer claims and clearer uncertainty instead of stretching the message for marketing impact.
Does PsyMatch claim personality alone can predict relationship success?
No. PsyMatch treats personality as one signal among values, intent, and communication fit rather than a complete predictor.
Why publish claims guardrails publicly?
Public guardrails make it easier for people to evaluate whether the product is being honest about what its compatibility signals can and cannot do.
