Seeded round-robin pairs, odd-roster pauses and personal itineraries.

PairCircuit prepares a small one-to-one conversation rotation. It shows what a full cycle covers and what a shorter plan leaves out, then turns that schedule into round and person views. It is useful when a host needs a plan to inspect before giving instructions to a room.

What it does

• Use 2–32 distinct participant labels. Normalised duplicate names are rejected; add initials to distinguish people.
• A seeded initial shuffle and circle-method rotation create one no-repeat cycle; the same ordered roster, seed and settings reproduce it.
• Use the full rotation or a shorter number of rounds. Requests beyond one cycle are rejected.
• For odd rosters, one person has a planned pause each round. A full cycle gives everyone one pause; a partial one may not.
• Inspect distinct-pair coverage, structural validity, station labels, next/previous rounds and the complete round list.
• See each person’s partners, stations and pause across the plan.
• Add a relative start label, 1–120 conversation minutes and 0–60 move minutes only between rounds. D+1 marks the next relative day.
• Undo 30 states; save editable JSON up to 1 MB, a TXT round list or all-person CSV.

A practical workflow

1. Enter distinguishable labels and choose a seed.
2. Set full/partial rounds and the relative agenda, then generate.
3. Check coverage and pauses; inspect a few round/person routes before distribution.
4. Keep JSON and share the appropriate round list or personal-itinerary report.

A worked use case

Seven people need seven rounds for all 21 pairs, with three pairs and one pause each round. At five conversation minutes plus one-minute moves, the agenda is 41 minutes: seven conversations but only six move intervals.

What you can keep

• Editable JSON
• TXT complete rounds
• CSV all personal itineraries

Labels stay in tab memory and exports. No autosave, contact-list access, invitations or messages are sent.

What it does not promise

• No compatibility, exclusions, matching preferences, attendance consent or accessibility needs are inferred.
• Station numbers label meeting points, not optimised physical routes or seating.
• The seed is not a secure lottery. Relative times have no calendar date, time-zone/DST conversion or live countdown.
