Getting Started — The Three Paths

Starting UVettd — Choose the Path That Fits You Right Now

When you first open UVettd, you land on a routing hub that asks one simple question: what describes your situation? There are three paths — Singles, Couples, and Partners — and choosing the right one means the app works for exactly where you are, not where you used to be or where you hope to be.

The Three Paths at a Glance

The Singles path is built for people who are actively dating, re-entering dating, or just trying to make better choices about who gets their time and energy. It routes you into the UVettd Compass and Vetted — the two tools you'll use most. The Couples path leads to Chosen, a set of tools designed for people already in a relationship who want to deepen alignment and communication. The Partners path routes you to /partners, built for relationship coaches and therapists using UVettd with clients.

You can change your path later from your account settings — choosing a path is not a permanent label. It simply determines which tools and flows appear front and center for you.

The Singles 1-2-3: Your First Three Steps

1. Complete your UVettd Compass. This is the foundation. Compass captures your values (weighted 1–10), your preferences, and your Never-Agains. Without it, Yvette — the AI coach in Vetted — can't personalize her evaluations to you specifically. Every score you see later is only as accurate as your Compass input.
2. Add your first prospect. A prospect is anyone you're actively evaluating — someone you're messaging, someone you've been on a date with, someone you've been circling for a while. You give them a name (first name or a nickname is fine) and optionally a photo. Nothing is shared publicly.
3. Run your first evaluation in Vetted. Open the prospect's profile and tap Start Evaluation. You'll tell Yvette what you've observed — what they said, what they did, any gaps you noticed between the two. She'll ask follow-up questions and begin building your CAMERA Method™ Report for that person.

What to Expect in Your First Week

Your first few evaluations will feel exploratory. Yvette is learning your communication style, and your CAMERA Method™ scores will carry a Low Evidence confidence badge until you've logged enough observations. That's normal — treat the first week as calibration, not conclusion.

By the end of the week, most users have a clearer picture of which dimensions (the 6 CAMERA categories) they have real evidence for, and which ones they've been assuming. That gap is often the most useful thing Compass and Vetted surface early on.

The UVettd ClearRank view — your ranked comparison of all active prospects — starts populating once you've run at least one evaluation. By the end of week one, if you have more than one prospect added, you'll be able to see a side-by-side comparison anchored to your values.

A Note on Privacy

Everything you add in UVettd — prospect names, observations, screenshots — is private to your account. Nothing is shared with other users, and prospect names are never exposed publicly. Your Compass values are also never visible to anyone but you.

Common questions about this topic

Do I need to pay to start?

You can create an account and begin setting up your Compass at no cost. Some features — including full Vetted evaluations and ClearRank — require an active subscription. You'll see a clear prompt before any paywall, so you'll never be surprised mid-flow.

What is Compass and do I have to do it first?

The UVettd Compass is the values-mapping tool that personalizes every evaluation Yvette runs for you. Technically you can add a prospect without completing it, but your scores will be generic until Compass is done. Starting with Compass is genuinely worth it — it usually takes 10–15 minutes and the quality difference in your evaluations is significant.

Can I use UVettd anonymously?

Your account requires an email address, but you don't need to use your real name in the app, and nothing you add about prospects is connected to those people's identities in any external way. You control what you enter.

What if my situation doesn't fit neatly into one path?

That happens. If you're navigating a situationship, a post-breakup re-evaluation, or anything in between, the Singles path is almost always the right starting point. You can switch paths at any time without losing your data.

How long does onboarding actually take?

Most people finish Compass in one session (10–20 minutes), add 1–2 prospects, and run a first evaluation all within an hour. You don't need to do it all at once — your progress saves automatically at every step.
