Relationship guides 04 · 6 min
Get started with SIX
Explore the fictional example first. Then choose one small file you exported yourself and review the scope before importing.
Who this guide is for: First-time visitors who want a clear starting point.
1. Distinguish the sample from your records
The first example network is fictional. A zero count for your own data is not an analysis of your relationships. Browsing the example does not automatically read an address book or a file.
2. Choose one small file
Start with a structured contacts CSV or vCard under 10 MB. Read the format instructions, export from the original service, choose the file in SIX, and review accepted and excluded counts.
3. Read three parts of the result
Start with the number of people, the relationship evidence and the date of the records. Recommendations compare the current data; they are not success probabilities or judgments of a person's worth.
4. Take one safe next step
Review one duplicate candidate, mark someone as important or read one path explanation. Identity review records a choice; it does not merge stored people. Device-only use is separate from account storage. An eligible completed import can be undone within three days.
