The WSPR Screening Suite

Private vetting
for curated events.

Send one link. Every completed screening lands in your private dashboard, already scored and explained in plain English. When the event is over, the applicant records are deleted.

Access is granted individually, by invitation.

The problem

Most events let the door price do the screening.

The most common filter is price: one group pays two or three times what another does, and the gap is supposed to keep the wrong people out. It doesn't. It sorts by who can afford the ticket, and the person you're actually worried about can afford it. A price tells you nothing about how someone behaves once they're through the door — and how they behave is the only thing you were trying to find out.

Everything else people use has the same shape. A friend vouches. You read a profile and go on a feeling. You ask a few questions in a DM. Each of those is a guess, and with thirty applicants it's thirty guesses you have no way to line up against each other.

Screening without WSPR

  • A higher door price, which sorts by who can pay — not by how they act in the room
  • A friend vouches, but their standard isn't yours, and sometimes they barely know the person
  • You read a profile and go on a feeling, and your feeling is different at 11pm than at noon
  • A few questions in a DM, worded so plainly that anyone can see the answer you want
  • Thirty applicants means thirty message threads and no way to compare them
  • You find out you got someone wrong in the room, in front of your guests

Screening with WSPR

  • Questions about how someone actually behaves, not what they can afford
  • Everyone answers the same ones, so you can compare them side by side
  • The person answering never sees what you're looking for
  • No answer looks like the “right” one, so there's nothing to fake
  • Fifty applicants is one ranked list, each with the reasoning written out
  • Everything is deleted 72 hours after the event, on its own
What the Screening Suite is

A screening tool that clears itself out when it’s done.

You describe the room you want — how discreet people need to be, how much energy you're after, how experienced they should be, how carefully boundaries need to be handled. That description is private and stays private. Applicants answer a set of everyday “what would you do” questions that never give away what you were looking for. WSPR scores how well they fit, explains why in plain English, and hands the decision back to you.

It is not a matchmaking service, a guest list manager, or a background check. It answers one question: does this person fit the room you described? Everything else is still yours.

How it works

Four steps, and you only do three of them.

I

Describe the room

Eleven qualities, each set on a 1–5 scale. The middle means “either way is fine.” Toward one end means it matters to you. Add up to three questions of your own. Takes about two minutes.

II

Send one link

You get a Screening Link. That's the only thing an applicant ever sees — no account, no app, no code to copy. Send it however you already talk to people.

III

They answer

Fourteen everyday “what would you do” questions, plus yours. Nothing hints at a preferred answer, and they never see a score. Then they're done.

IV

You review and decide

Screenings land in your dashboard, ranked by fit, with anything they missed flagged and the reasoning written out. You make every call.

What the other person experiences

The part that decides whether anyone actually finishes it.

A screening tool people find invasive or confusing is a screening tool nobody completes. So the applicant's side was built first and kept deliberately small.

01 They click your link No account. No password. No download.
02 They see the event and your name So they know exactly who is asking, and why.
03 They answer Everyday situations with no obviously right answer, in plain language.
04 They’re told it’s received “The curator will contact you.” No score, no verdict, no waiting screen.

Before they answer anything, they're told exactly how long their answers are kept and what happens if someone else takes over the event. Nobody is surprised later.

What it measures

Eleven qualities, and none of them are a personality test.

Each one is something a host actually cares about when deciding who belongs in a room. You set where you want each one. The further you move it from the middle, the more it counts.

DiscretionWhat they say about the night afterward
Respecting boundariesHow they respond when a limit appears
Staying steadyWhether they stay steady when things shift
Saying what they meanWhether they say what they mean
Energy levelThe energy level they’re looking for
Group comfortOne-on-one, or a full room
Planned or spontaneousA planned evening, or one made up as it goes
PaceHow quickly they move
ExperienceHow familiar they are with spaces like yours
Openness to new thingsDrawn to the familiar, or the unfamiliar
ReliabilityWhether they follow through on what they agreed

Plus up to three questions of your own — scored, treated as a hard requirement, or simply collected for you to read.

Why the answers are worth anything

There’s nothing to fake.

If people can guess the right answer, you're not learning about them — you're watching them act. So WSPR is built so there's nothing to guess at:

They never see what you wanted
Your description of the room is locked inside the link. They never see it, it's never hinted at, and they can't work it out from the questions.
No answer is written to look like the good one
Every choice describes a normal way to be. The scoring happens underneath, where the person answering can't see it.
They never see their result
No score, no rating, no “you're a strong match.” Nothing to aim at, and nothing to retake for a better number.
What’s kept, and for how long

Written plainly, because this is the part people should check.

WSPR holds screening data while your event is live, then deletes it. Not filed away, not stripped of names — deleted, along with the key that could unlock it.

WhatHow long
Curator accounts and access
Who’s allowed to run events
Until removed
Screening answers, usernames, scores, reports
Everything about a person who applied
Deleted 72 hours after the event
Event history
Event name, dates, how many people screened
Kept — but it names nobody

Once that happens, all an event says is: ran on this date, forty-two people screened. There's no list of who they were, nothing they answered, and no report left to open — not by a curator, not by a moderator, not by us.

Two things said plainly, because a privacy promise you have to squint at isn't worth much. First: while an event is live, WSPR holds the key that unlocks those reports. Locking the data protects it if someone ever breaks into our storage, but it doesn't mean we're unable to look. Second: while an event is live, only the curator running it can open its applicants — not other curators, and not WSPR moderators.

Who this is for

A narrow tool, on purpose.

A good fit if

  • You host events where who’s in the room genuinely matters
  • You’re vetting more people than you can hold in your head
  • Discretion is part of what you’re offering, not just a bonus
  • You want the decision to stay yours, with better information behind it

Not a fit if

  • You want automatic accept and reject decisions
  • You need identity verification or background checks
  • You want a permanent record of everyone who ever applied
  • You’re running open public events where anyone can attend
Questions

The ones worth answering up front.

Does an applicant need an account?

No. They click your link, answer, and they’re finished. No sign-up, no password, no app, nothing to install. Most people are done in under five minutes.

Can they see what I’m looking for?

No. Your description of the room is locked inside the link. The questions are written so no option reads as the preferred one, and nothing about what you want is shown or hinted at.

Do they find out how they scored?

Never. They see a confirmation that their screening was received and a note that the curator will be in touch. That’s the whole reason the answers mean anything.

Does WSPR decide who gets in?

No, and it’s built so it never can. Every report ends with “Manual Curator Review.” You get a score, the reasoning behind it, and anything someone missed — then you decide. WSPR never sends an invitation or a rejection.

What actually happens to someone’s answers?

They’re stored while your event is live so you can review them, then deleted 72 hours after the event — along with the key that could unlock them. What survives is the event name, its dates, and a count of how many people screened. Nothing that identifies anyone.

Can other curators see my applicants?

No. Applicants are visible only to the curator running that event. Other curators can’t reach them, and neither can WSPR moderators — running the platform doesn’t include reading the people being screened.

What if I stop being able to run an event partway through?

It can be handed to another curator, applicants included. The room definition stays exactly as you built it, since everyone already screened answered against it. Applicants are told this can happen before they answer anything, and every handover is logged.

How many people can screen for one event?

Up to 500. If someone screens twice, the newer submission replaces the older one rather than appearing as two people.

How do I get access?

By invitation. You’re given a short access code — twelve characters, readable over the phone — or a one-click link carrying the same code. Access runs out on purpose: enough time for the event you’re planning, then it expires. Getting a fresh code later returns you to everything you had.

Built to disappear when it’s done.

An applicant’s screening sticks around for as long as you need it — through the night and the morning after — and then it’s gone. No pile of old screenings sitting in the background, waiting to be protected, handed over, or explained away after a leak.

That isn’t a limitation. It’s the design.
