Protocol-First
Not a platform. Not an app. A specification — implementable anywhere, owned by no one.
Human
Compatibility
as a Protocol.
Open Standard
PairGeek is an open schema for expressing who you are, what you value, and what you seek — in a format both humans and machines can reason about.
Design Principles
Schema as Truth
The JSON-LD schema is the canonical source. Human-readable docs are derived from it, not the other way around.
Graceful Degradation
Agents read JSON-LD. Humans read HTML. Crawlers read pairgeek.txt. All three layers are first-class.
Costly Signaling
Running your own domain and publishing a structured profile filters out low-intent actors by design.

- From Date-Me Docs to a Proper Protocol Date-me docs proved demand for structured self-presentation. PairGeek formalizes the format.
- Why Structured Profiles Beat Unstructured Introductions Free-form introductions are high-noise, low-signal. Structured profiles shift the burden of filtering from human attention to machine logic.
