Allow users to visualize and organize their network using concepts inspired by the Dunbar number. The idea that people can maintain different levels of relationships (e.g., close, casual, acquaintance) based on cognitive and time limits.
For example:
Tier 1 (“Core 50”): contacts to keep in touch with quarterly
Tier 2 (“Extended 100”): semiannual check-ins
Tier 3 (“Outer circle”): annual or ad-hoc connections
This framework could help Dex users set realistic “Keep in Touch” frequencies, identify who belongs in which tier, and visualize relationship strength or recency at a glance.
Value:
Encourages more intentional relationship management
Prevents overcommitment by suggesting realistic touchpoint frequencies
Makes “Keep in Touch” feel more human and personalized
