How Lily Match actually works.
Match isn't a sorted list. It's a model that ranks fit across eight identity-aware dimensions, plus modality, availability, and economic accessibility — refreshed every time anyone changes anything.
From intake to first session — in four steps.
Tell Lily about you
A 5-minute intake captures identity, modality preferences, language, faith, schedule windows, and insurance. No essay required.
The model scores
Lily scores every verified clinician across eight dimensions for you. Identity-aware, not a keyword sort.

Identity-aware doesn't mean identity-only.
The model weighs modality fit, availability, and access alongside identity — because the relationship is the medicine, but you still need an appointment that fits in your week.
