Harmate creates a mirror above two simple questionnaires: each side keeps its questions, participants or personae, while A/B pairs structure the matching.
Mirror Link
One question from questionnaire A
The matching question from questionnaire B
Two child questionnaires, one orchestration mirror. A/B pairs, side-specific questions and explicit weights. Bounded real matching and A/B readout for both populations.
The Risk
Two questionnaires can collect good signals without saying which A answer should be matched with which B answer. The matching then becomes hard to review.
The mirror starts by linking axes before scoring.
Some axes should bring similar profiles together. Others should favor complementarity. The weight makes that intent explicit.
The matching rule becomes reviewable, not implicit.
Submitted responses remain accessible on side A and side B. Real matching returns populations and scores without blending child workflows; simulation remains a separate preflight.
The mirror orchestrates without erasing the two child workflows.Mentors / Mentees. When available expertise, learning goals, availability and autonomy level need to be connected.
Recruiters / Candidates. When the role, manager and candidate need to be matched through explicit criteria rather than a broad impression.
Project Teams / Clients. When a team needs to connect internal constraints, client expectations, success criteria and complementarity zones.
Organizers / Participants. When groups, workshops or pairs need to account for goals, preferences and logistical limits at the same time.

Mirror Link
Name the mirror, the context, then the A and B audiences that should be matched.
Each axis becomes one A question and one B question. Harmate can suggest the opposite wording when a question is stable.
Make weights, strategy, capacities and exclusivity rules explicit so the result can be explained.
A/B responses are loaded from the linked questionnaires; simulation mode separately helps prepare wording before collection.
The mirror view returns A/B matching, its population counts and its real source, then leaves detailed analysis to the child questionnaires.
The Risk
A team wants to create useful pairs while accounting for skills, goals, constraints and availability.
Mentor side: which skills can you pass on? Mentee side: which skills do you want to develop?
Skills and goals get a positive weight; some constraints or experiences can create the desired complementarity.
The A/B readout makes population counts, response source and scores visible; detailed results remain available in each questionnaire.
How the mirror links two questionnaires
Each audience answers its own questionnaire. The mirror does not merge the forms: it keeps the A/B separation and makes question links explicit.
For each link, the team knows whether the criterion should bring similar profiles together or seek complementarity. Scoring does not become a black box.
Personae and simulated participants serve as a preflight; real matching is then run on submitted responses from both sides.
