## Definitions

### User
A `user` represents a user's account information. It contains their unique identifiers and is required for logging in.

### Profile
A `profile` is how we link questionaire `responses` to a `user`. 

### Membership
A `membership` represents how a `user` is connected to `groupings`. 

There should be a `membership` entry referencing every `grouping` a `user` belongs to.

Each `membership` can be marked as active with the `membership.is_active` key. This allows for a history of `memberships` to be persisted, and allows the joining and leaving of `groupings`. Leaving a `grouping` is a matter of marking the `membership.is_active` as `false`.

If the `membership.can_edit` key is true, the `member` `user` is allowed to edit the grouping details.

### Grouping
A `grouping` is a representation of `membership` between two `profiles`.

Each `grouping` consists of *atleast* two `profiles`.

Some common groupings include: companies and matches

### Messages
A `message` is the record of a chat message for each `grouping's` chat.

### Responses & Response Keys
A `response` represents a questionaire *answer* that is linked to a `profile` and ultimately a `user` for scoring and matching. Each `response` references a `response_key`.

A `response_key` represents how each `response` is categorized as well as the actual question asked on the questionaire. 

We group `responses` into broader ctegories to aid scoring.

The `response.response_key_category` is the category and the `response.response_key_prompt` stores the question itself.
