Private Alignment Protocol
Find Common Ground
Without Revealing Your Hand
No Regret Deals uses the Private Alignment Protocol to match parties on price, salary, or value. Strike a deal instantly if you overlap, or walk away with your privacy intact if you don't.
Two Sides, One Goal: No Regrets
Choose your perspective to see how the protocol protects you.
The Initiator Strategy
As Party A, you set the stage. Define the range you are comfortable with and invite the other party.
- Define the Shared Reality: Set your ideal target price and a maximum Flexibility Spread (e.g., 20%). Your resulting "No Regret" range is generated from this.
- The Spread is the Limit: The flexibility spread you choose dictates the maximum allowed width for Party B's range, preventing them from submitting artificially wide nets.
- Protect Your Budget: If their ask is outside your range + the % spread, the deal ends silently in a Deadlock. They never know what your numbers were.
Possible Outcomes
Match: Your ranges overlapped. A deal is struck at the midpoint, ensuring a fair outcome for both sides.
Feasible:You didn't overlap but are close. The system reveals the direction (above or below) so you can decide if you want to adjust.
Deadlock: You are too far apart. The process ends. No ranges are revealed. No pride is lost.
The Math of Alignment
See exactly when a deal is struck, when you get a second chance, and when you safely walk away.
Scenario A: Perfect Overlap
Party A: 100–120k
Party B: 110–130k
Spread: 20%
Party B: 110–130k
Spread: 20%
Result: Deal at 115k (Midpoint of 110-120k overlap)
Scenario B: Close but No Overlap
Party A: 100–110k
Party B: 115–125k
Spread: 10%
Party B: 115–125k
Spread: 10%
Result: "Feasible". Gap is within the 10% spread limit (110k * 1.1 = 121k ≥ 115k). Direction is revealed, and parties decide whether to adjust their positions.
Scenario C: Wide Gap
Party A: 100–110k
Party B: 150–170k
Spread: 20%
Party B: 150–170k
Spread: 20%
Result: Deadlock. Gap exceeds the 20% flexibility spread limit. No data revealed.
