Variant atlas

Change the promise deliberately, one axis at a time.

These are editorial prototype variants derived from the title cues. None is a legacy fact, customer request, or validated opportunity.

Variant A · Reflective

Unsent personal map

A participant maps a meaningful route or place they never shared with the intended recipient; another participant receives it under privacy-safe rules.

Primary uncertainty: emotional value vs. privacy exposure.

Variant B · Creative

Prompted imaginary map exchange

Participants answer the same creative mapping prompt, then a coordinator exchanges artifacts.

Primary uncertainty: whether “unsent” still matters enough to differentiate.

Variant C · Practical

Unshared local route exchange

Participants contribute a useful non-sensitive route or place guide that has not been publicly posted.

Primary uncertainty: utility vs. easier existing substitutes.

Variant D · Reciprocal

Give one / receive one

Exchange is explicitly reciprocal rather than buyer/seller. Contribution quality and fairness become central.

Primary uncertainty: matching quality and fulfillment balance.

Variant E · Curated service

Concierge matchmaker

A coordinator reviews and matches a tiny set manually, closest to the preserved Minimum Proof.

Primary uncertainty: support workload and whether curation creates enough value.

Variant F · Paid network

Fee-mediated exchange

A participant pays a fee around access, matching, membership, or transaction only if a later evidence cycle justifies testing payment.

Primary uncertainty: willingness to pay plus payment/marketplace obligations.

Comparison rule: compare variants on customer job, privacy burden, match complexity, support workload, commitment signal, and substitute strength. Do not select the version with the most attractive spreadsheet output before observing customer behavior.
