You don’t need scripts that sound robotic—you need a system that works. Signal & Spark gives hobbyists a precise, test‑repeatable method for starting, sustaining, and closing real conversations without pretending to be someone else. Run modular flows with timings, ratios, and pass/fail checkpoints: Warm Start (environmental opener matrices), Thread Build (observation → shared frame → targeted question), Calibration Loop (latency, tone, stance), Depth Tokens (micro‑disclosures that invite reciprocity), and Exit & Bridge (clean closes that set a next touch). Each module includes vocal tempo targets, glance durations, gesture amplitude, and recovery trees for interruptions, blank outs, or mismatched energy.
Log outcomes like time‑to‑rapport, thread length, micro‑yes count, and follow‑up conversion so you can iterate like a mini experiment. Packaged tools include a pocket timing grid, scenario cards (queue, café, hallway, meetup), a “first 30 seconds” checklist, and an authenticity audit that keeps your style aligned with your values.
No fluff—just mechanics that move the needle so you can connect comfortably and consistently.
