Event Intro
The Five-Question Attendee Survey
EventIntro's matching runs on a fixed five-question survey about goals, challenges, and offers. Short enough to finish, structured enough to drive real matches.
Who this is for
- Hosts weighing survey length against completion and match quality.
- Anyone who wonders why the questions are fixed rather than custom.
- Buyers comparing EventIntro's intake to long registration forms.
Why only five questions?
Because completion collapses as forms grow, and an unfinished profile produces no matches at all. Five questions is short enough that attendees actually finish and structured enough — goals, challenges, offers — to give the engine the seek/offer signal it needs. The brevity is a deliberate floor on completion, not a shortcut on quality: a finished five-question profile beats an abandoned twenty-question one every time.
Long registration surveys feel thorough and quietly sabotage themselves — the richest questionnaire is worthless if half the room bails at question twelve. The design optimizes for the profile that actually gets completed.
Why can't I customize the questions?
The entire pipeline — enrichment, keyword extraction, embedding — is tuned to the shape of these five, and swapping them in introduces signal drift that degrades matches, especially across cohorts where members carry one profile between groups. You can customize the cohort, the branding, the invitation, and the matching priorities; the survey stays fixed so match quality stays consistent.
What do the five questions actually capture?
What each attendee is working toward, where they're stuck, and what they can offer others — the three ingredients required to pair people whose offers answer each other's needs. Everything downstream, from breakout groups to introductions, is built on that seek/offer signal.
