Most address books are graveyards of names and numbers. You have "John Smith" and a phone number, but do you remember if he hates seafood, or that he was the one who introduced you to your current boss? We often rely on social media to remember these details, but algorithms are terrible archivists of personal history.

The Philosophy: Social Intelligence

This template isn't just about contact info; it's about context. It’s designed for the super-networker, the community leader, or anyone who realizes that the quality of a relationship is built on remembering the small things. It treats your social circle as a complex web of interactions rather than a flat list.

The Blueprint: The Human Dossier

The fields here go deep into personality and history.

  • The Origin Story: The Place first met and Date first met fields anchor the relationship in time and space. Ten years from now, knowing exactly when you met someone is a powerful trust-builder. The Introduced by link creates a genealogy of your social network.
  • The Psychological Profile: This is where it gets interesting. With fields for Good traits (like "Ambitious", "Loyal") and Bad traits (like "Arrogant", "Flaky"), you are building a private assessment of character.
  • The Sensory Details: The Voice sample field is a rare gem. Recording the correct pronunciation of a name, or a snippet of a memorable conversation, preserves a dimension of the person that text cannot.

Usage Scenarios: The "Gift" Dilemma

It's a friend's birthday. Instead of panicking, you check their entry. You see Likes: "Vintage sci-fi", Dislikes: "Strong perfumes", and Hobbies: "Model painting". You instantly know what to buy.

Or consider the professional referral. Someone asks if you know a reliable graphic designer. You sort your network by the Reliable rating field, filter by "Designer" in the Notes, and find the perfect candidate in seconds, confident in your recommendation.

Power Feature: Grouping by Traits

By using Memento’s grouping feature on the Good traits field, you can instantly see who in your network is "Adventurous" when you're planning a trip, or who is "Wise" when you need advice. It turns your contact list into a searchable database of human capital.
