Create a solution for unmatched people
The current experience for an unmatched user is not great. They get an email saying that they could not be matched for the week.
Some have suggested that we could create a meeting with 3 people if 1 was unmatched. This, however, poses some technical challenges.
-
We store history for meetings, so we would need to update the meeting to reflect a 1:1 meeting amongst all three individuals. This would ensure no re-match.
-
We need to support group emails. Recently this functionality was added, but there may be formatting issues.
-
We need to find some unobtrusive way of modifying the current algorithm or making it algorithm unaware. IMO the best bet is to have the algorithm spit out the matches and unmatched and process that list after the fact.
