# Cohort

> Slow dating in small weekly cohorts - marketing site for meetcohort.com. The product app runs at https://app.meetcohort.co

## Summary

Cohort is an invite-only dating product, **built with love in Essen, Germany**. Members are grouped weekly by **intent** (e.g. serious, open, casual, exploring). They send a limited number of **sparks** per week; when someone accepts, the pair enters a **guided multi-step thread** whose shape adapts to **intent and pairing** (marketing does not enumerate internal prompt wording). Threads combine writing with **voice recorded inside the thread** when the step requires it. Then comes a **decision recap**, then a **mutual contract** before photos and chat unlock. Profile setup focuses on written prompts and basics; **voice as part of connecting happens in the thread**, not as the headline of a profile card. **Differentiation:** cohort-by-intent, spark scarcity, structured reciprocity before open chat versus infinite swipe feeds; **tradeoffs:** slower pace and fewer concurrent options by design.

## Product flow (high level - verify in app)

1. Weekly **cohort** placement by intent.
2. **Sparks** (weekly cap; inbox accept/decline; sparks expire).
3. **Thread** - timed steps with paired reveals; flow adapts to **intent** and pairing; writing plus **in-thread voice** when required. Legacy threads may still use older shapes until completed.
4. **Decision recap** of shared answers, then **contract** (mutual yes/no; if yes, **pace** preference). Photos/chat after mutual agreement per product rules.
