Section 3 | Guest Matching Algorithm Selection Interface

The Problem

Guests do not currently have a way to look at a digital list of narrowed-down Hosts who they might be a good match with based on the responses to the guest intake profile.

User Story:

As a Guest, I should be able to see a list of potential Hosts whom I might be a good match with to select one Host and begin the matching process post-coordinator review.

High-Level Approach

Once the Guest has completed the orientation training, they have a list of narrowed-down Hosts generated via the matching algorithm on their dashboard, so that they can select one Host for the coordinator to review the match, and kick start the match-making process with.

Solution Alignment

Considerations

Some fine-tuning of the algorithm may be necessary based on real-world usage.

Goals and Success

• Guests can successfully review the options generated by the algorithm and select a Host for coordinator review.
• Automate manual matching to optimize coordinator time.

Key Features

• A table view of all potential hosts sorted alphabetically with their key features: Name, Drinks (Yes/No), Smokes (Yes/No), Allows Pets (Yes/No).
• Ability to learn more about any host from the list. (This will be detailed out in a separate user story)
• Ability to submit a host to begin the matching process.
• Before submitting the host, guests can confirm whether they want to initiate the matching process.

Acceptance Criteria

• List of potential hosts with key features: Name, Smoke, Drinks, Pets
• List of potential hosts with filter options on key features Smoke, Drinks, and Pets (follow up with engineering, might need to consider this Post MVP)
• Updates on the list of potential hosts based on the filters the guest has applied (follow up with engineering, might need to consider this Post MVP)
• Guests can choose a particular host to begin the matching process.
• Guests can choose a host to look at the host profile card.

Known Limitations

• If guests change the response to the application the list of potential hosts is updated.

Designs

• Create design on Figma
• Review existing designs on Figma
• Edit existing designs as needed
• Designs are edited and ready for engineering.
• Engineering
• Key Decisions
• Ask Engineering story points for this feature - - Ability to select their favorite hosts and decide if we want to keep this for MVP or Post MVP.

Future Considerations

• Ability to mark a host as a favorite.
• Guests can come back to revisit the list of favorite hosts

@jasika-ai could we actually create a google doc for this so that we can comment easily before story is finalized?

@jasika-ai also please update the labels as well as Project and Milestone

We need to distinguish the wording around 'dashboard' after matching algo outputs the result
