## Direct answer
Saju compatibility reads how two people align, strain, and respond to each other over time. Mudang Ara treats compatibility as a way to understand rhythm, friction, and communication patterns rather than reducing a relationship to a single fixed score.

## Key takeaways
- Core question: Where does this relationship feel easy, and where does it repeatedly tighten or miss?
- Input: Two sets of birth details plus relationship context create a stronger compatibility reading.
- Interpretive tone: The point is not to lock the relationship into a verdict but to understand how it works.

## What compatibility actually reads
Compatibility is not only about whether two people are “good together.”
It is about how they move together, where they misread each other, and what keeps repeating in the dynamic.

## Is it only for romantic relationships?
No. Friendships, family relationships, coworkers, and other recurring two-person dynamics also fit.
The relationship label matters because it changes what the user expects the reading to focus on.

## Why this matters for product design
Users need to know whether they are entering a score-based matching tool or a more interpretive compatibility reading.
Clarity here improves both trust and the quality of the next step a reader chooses.

## Compatibility FAQ
- Is saju compatibility only for couples? No. It can be useful for friends, family, coworkers, and other ongoing relationships too.
- Do both people need known birth times? That helps, but broader readings can still begin without exact times.
- Does compatibility guarantee a relationship outcome? No. It is better read as rhythm and tension analysis than as a final verdict.
- Why ask about relationship context? Because the same two people are interpreted differently depending on whether they are partners, siblings, or coworkers.
