Concepts to recognize
Student discipline
Do not memorize this as a fixed prediction. Use it as a method: identify the factor, check condition, compare supporting layers, then write a useful answer.
Quick match
A quick match is useful when users want an immediate screening. It can calculate Ashtakoot, basic Moon reference, visible dosha flags, and a few relationship factors. It should be clear that this is a first look.
Quick match should never feel like the final authority on marriage. It should give value, preserve session state, and invite the user to add or generate both detailed Kundlis for a more serious reading.
Detailed Kundli match
A detailed match should use the full saved Kundli for both partners. It should compare D1, D9, 7th houses, lords, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Moon, dasha timing, and practical readiness. It should also detect duplicate charts or the same link pasted into both slots.
This is where the product becomes premium: not more text, but better evidence, clearer organization, and guidance that a family or practitioner can actually discuss.
What a premium match should answer
A serious report should answer a small number of real questions.
- Where is emotional compatibility naturally supportive?
- Where are communication and temperament likely to need care?
- Are the partnership houses strong, mixed, or stressed?
- Are Mars, Venus, Moon, Jupiter, and Saturn balanced or one-sided?
- Does D9 support long-term maturity?
- Are current dashas supportive for commitment or asking for patience?
- What should the couple discuss before deciding?
Requires pundit review
Requires Pundit Review should not sound like a failure. It means the system found factors that deserve human judgment: severe dosha flags, conflicting indicators, low score with strong D1/D9 support, high score with serious 7th-house stress, uncertain birth times, or sensitive family context.
The message should be: this is meaningful enough to review carefully, not this is bad.
