ABOUT THE REPORT This report analyzes contact-channel confirmation, profile readiness, privacy settings and early platform participation on Weddme. It uses an anonymized production snapshot captured on 8 September 2026 at 16:00:29 UTC / 21:00:29 PKT. The strict eligible cohort contained 6,258 active Weddme profiles after quality filters and obvious test-record exclusion. The standardized first-30-day behavioural cohort contained 5,237 eligible profiles with complete 30-day observation windows. The results describe eligible active Weddme profiles at the snapshot. They are not national estimates for Pakistan and do not measure identity verification, document verification, background checks, compatibility, safety, successful matches, engagements or marriages. FIVE HEADLINE FINDINGS 1. CONTACT-CHANNEL CONFIRMATION WAS COMMON, BUT NARROW IN MEANING Within the 6,258-profile eligible cohort, 3,984 profiles, or 63.66%, had at least one recorded email or phone confirmation timestamp. 2. PHONE AND EMAIL WERE THE OBSERVED CONFIRMATION CHANNELS Phone confirmation appeared on 3,372 profiles, or 53.88%. Email confirmation appeared on 3,058 profiles, or 48.87%. 3. PROFILE READINESS AND CONFIRMATION APPEARED TOGETHER Among profiles with a stored completion score of 100, 87.74% had at least one confirmed contact channel. In the stored 40–59 completion band, the share was 15.16%. 4. CONTACT VISIBILITY WAS USUALLY PRIVATE Private contact visibility appeared on 5,568 profiles, or 88.97%. This is a stored platform setting and should not be read as pure user motive because current signup applies private contact visibility by default. 5. EARLY CONFIRMATION WAS ASSOCIATED WITH FIRST-MONTH RETURN ACTIVITY Profiles with early contact-channel confirmation were more likely to record activity on three or more return days in the first 30 days: 28.56% compared with 9.63% among profiles without early confirmation. METHODOLOGY AT A GLANCE - Main snapshot cohort: 6,258 eligible active Weddme profiles. - Behavioural cohort: 5,237 eligible profiles with complete first-30-day observation. - Snapshot: 8 September 2026 at 16:00:29 UTC / 21:00:29 PKT. - Contact-channel confirmation means email or phone confirmation timestamp recorded. - Contact-channel confirmation is not identity verification. - Profile completion indicates field readiness, not truthfulness. - Messaging and activity are platform behaviours, not matrimonial outcomes. - No names, identifiers, contact details, photographs, biographies, message text, payment records, or row-level records are included. LANGUAGE FOR COVERAGE Use: "within the analyzed Weddme cohort," "eligible active Weddme profiles," "contact-channel confirmation," "recorded email or phone confirmation timestamp," "stored privacy setting," and "first-month platform behaviour." Avoid turning contact-channel confirmation into claims about legal identity checks, user safety, better matches, causal impact, national Pakistani behaviour, or a national survey.
