## How to use it

1. Choose what do you want first?.
2. Choose how do you like to work?.
3. Enter budget for the first month.
4. Read the result.

## How it works

Your goal leads: fixing a profile is a small one-off job, being introduced to matches is matchmaking, becoming better at dating is coaching.

Budget sets the boundary. Published prices here run $17 to $1 million, and matchmaking rarely starts below about $3,500.

How you like to work is the tie-breaker: 'do it for me' pushes an unsure visitor with a large budget toward a matchmaker. A clear goal always wins over this answer.

## Questions

### Is this a recommendation of a specific coach?

No. It recommends a kind of help, not a person. A listing is a record, not an endorsement.

### Why does budget change the answer?

Profile help is hundreds, coaching is hundreds to a few thousand, and matchmaking commonly starts at several thousand.
