How WorkTwins Matching Works
1. Summary
WorkTwins matches people by comparing derived work-context signals, not self-written claims.
WorkTwins calculates computational affinity between users: how similar or compatible their current work contexts, workflows, tools, tasks, problem-solving patterns, and collaboration patterns are.
2. What Is a WorkFootPrint?
A WorkFootPrint is a private, evolving representation of how a person actually works.
It may include derived signals about:
- tools used;
- workflows repeated;
- task categories;
- problem-solving patterns;
- collaboration signals;
- confidence levels;
- timeline information;
- work-context similarity features.
3. What Are WorkAtoms, WorkEpisodes, and WorkTraces?
WorkTwins may organize work evidence into:
- WorkAtom: a semantic reading of one work moment or frame;
- WorkEpisode: a sequence of WorkAtoms that form a work activity;
- WorkTrace: a broader pattern created from ordered WorkEpisodes.
4. Similarity, Not Exposure
WorkTwins does not need to expose raw details behind every match.
Example: if one user is painting a table red and another user is painting a chair red, WorkTwins may detect that their work contexts are closer than a user painting a car blue. The product goal is not to reveal everything each person is doing. The product goal is to calculate compatibility and help similar users collaborate.
5. What a Match Score Means
A match score is a recommendation signal. It is not a judgment of:
- ability;
- productivity;
- worth;
- intelligence;
- employment suitability;
- legal status;
- compensation;
- promotion readiness.
6. “Matched Because” Explanations
WorkTwins may provide limited explanations, such as:
- similar workflows;
- shared tool patterns;
- similar problem-solving sequences;
- compatible collaboration timing;
- overlapping work domains.
Explanations should not reveal another user’s raw private context by default.
7. Real-Time Matching
WorkTwins may compare derived WorkFootPrint signals in real time to surface users whose computational distance is closer.
The “computational affinity antenna” is the user interface by which users see compatible collaborators in real time.
8. User Controls
Users may:
- review signals before upload;
- reduce or increase granularity;
- exclude workflows;
- mark signals private;
- delete signals;
- request reprocessing;
- approve selected sharing.
Users may not rewrite semantic evidence to create false claims.
9. Company Use
Company customers may use WorkTwins for compatibility recommendations. WorkTwins should not be used as the sole basis for hiring, firing, promotion, compensation, discipline, task allocation, or other employment decisions.
Appropriate human review is required where WorkTwins outputs may affect workplace opportunities.
