About Maya
Maya is a driven product manager at a fast-growing tech startup in San Francisco. She works 60+ hour weeks and has limited time for dating. She's looking for a serious long-term relationship but is frustrated by the inefficiency of traditional dating apps where she invests time in conversations that go nowhere.
Maya is analytical and data-driven in both her professional and personal life. She wants to apply the same strategic thinking to dating that she uses at work—screening candidates efficiently before investing resources. She values intelligence, ambition, and emotional maturity in potential partners.
She's active on Hinge and The League but often feels overwhelmed by the volume of matches and the time required to vet each one properly. She needs a tool that helps her quickly identify which matches are worth her limited time and which ones she should skip.
Primary Need

Maya's User Journey with CLAIR
Discovery & Onboarding
Maya discovers CLAIR through a targeted ad: "Screen matches BEFORE wasting time." She signs up for the Professional tier ($49/week) during her lunch break, attracted by the promise of efficient match screening.
First Dossier Generation
Immediately after onboarding, Maya uploads screenshots of her first match's Hinge profile. Within 90 seconds, she receives a comprehensive dossier showing 78% compatibility, personality analysis, and 2 yellow-flag warnings about career ambiguity. This is her "aha moment"—she can now make informed decisions quickly.
Batch Screening Workflow
Maya develops a routine: Every Monday during lunch, she uploads 3-4 new match profiles and reviews their dossiers. She uses the dossier comparison feature to rank matches by compatibility. She eliminates low-compatibility matches immediately and focuses her energy on the top 2-3 prospects.
Conversation Initiation (Secondary Use)
For high-compatibility matches, Maya references the dossier's "Conversation Starters" section to craft personalized opening messages. She occasionally uses the conversation coaching feature when she's unsure how to respond, but this is secondary to the dossier intelligence.
Validation & CIP Rewards
After first dates, Maya validates dossier predictions by submitting screenshots from conversations. She earns 150-200 CIP per validation, which she redeems for bonus dossier credits. This keeps her engaged and helps CLAIR improve its accuracy.
