For people who connect people

Connect people on what they value. Build triangles that hold.

Record a quick note after you meet someone. The Value Compass finds the North Stars they move toward and what they need. When two people line up, Triadic shows you why and drafts the intro. You send it.

Coffee with Maya. She's leaving the agency in March to build cheap soil sensors for small farms¹. She redid the prototype three times because the first two weren't good enough for her². Weekends she's at the community garden³. Biggest blocker is industrial design. She's never shipped a physical product⁴.

The problem

Everyone you know is connected to you. Few are connected to each other.

And what you know about each person stays in your head, where no one else can use it.

At dinner
You think, "she has to meet my friend." By morning it's gone.
A month later
A friend needs someone who has shipped hardware. You met that person last spring. You can't remember who.
In your contacts
Your contacts are a map: company, title, city. None of it points at what anyone is moving toward.

How it works

One conversation, start to finish.

Before you go

Walk in with better questions than "so what do you do?"

Add an event and Triadic picks a few warm-up questions that get at people's North Stars. They get you past job titles in the first five minutes.

QWhat part of your work or your week gives you the most energy?

QWhat got you started on the path you are on now?

QWhen do you feel most like you are doing what you are meant to do?

Walking out

Say what you learned. Skip the typing.

Record a short note on the way to your car. The Value Compass orients the profile: North Stars, interests, goals and needs, each with the exact words it came from so you can check it.

Orienting profile around core North Stars... From a note about Theo

Weeks later

Geometric Alignment Detected.

From the notes you've saved, Triadic looks for two people whose needs and North Stars fit together, with you as the third point of the triangle. It shows you why, using what you said.

Maya: Needs someone who has shipped hardware
Theo: Wants to advise one hardware startup this year
Both: Share a North Star: craft over speed

When it fits

Introduce people by what they both care about.

An intro that only lists job titles is easy to ignore. Triadic's draft opens with what the two people have in common, then says what each one needs. You read it, change what you like, and send it from your own messages. Nothing goes out on its own.

Intro draft

Maya, meet Theo. You both care more about getting it right than getting it fast. Maya is building soil sensors for small farms and needs someone who has shipped hardware. Theo wants to advise one hardware startup this year.

Why connect people at all

What do you get out of it?

A line between two people bends easily. A triangle holds its shape. When the people around you know each other, they help each other directly.

Everything through you

When you get busy, nothing moves.

A triangle

Two people you know now know each other. That's where the name Triadic comes from.

You carry less of the load.
Two people who know each other don't need you to pass messages along. You stay part of the triangle without holding it up alone.
People think of you first.
The people you connect well tend to think of you when they meet someone worth knowing.

Who it's for

You're the one people ask, "do you know anyone who..."

Triadic is for the person in a group who keeps track of people. Some do it for work. Most just can't help it.

Hosts
You run a dinner, a meetup or a group chat, and you notice which two people should talk.
Investors and advisors
Often the most useful thing you give a founder is the right person. Remember what each one needs.
Founders
You meet more people in a month than you can keep track of, and the right intro can save someone a year.
Recruiters and connectors
You care what people want next, beyond the line on their resume.

Privacy

Notes about people stay on your phone.

The people you talk about never agreed to be in an app. Triadic has no server and no account. The Compass works on the phone, or online if you turn that on.

Notes and insights	On your phone. The Compass reads them there.	Only if you turn on the online Compass. Then the note, or the facts you pick for an intro, are sent online.

Your phone's backups can include your notes, like any other app data.
