Brief Answer:
Want more information, better to use expert psychologist
Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXX,
Thanks for writing to us.
Psychiatrist in generally deals with psychological problems and treat it. I cannot get the idea of evaluation by psychiatrist for dating for your new venture. Please explore more what actually you are planning in evaluation.
If at all you want to go for some kind of evaluation I guess it should be done by a professional psychologist who should be expert in psychological testing. Psychologist can work in fewer amounts then that of psychiatrist. Fees totally depend on what you want to evaluate and by whom.
I will be happy to help further after your response.
Regards,
Dr.Chintan Solanki.

Brief Answer:
Nice idea but implementation seems difficult
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Sorry for delayed response. I have gone through your attachment.
1.Need for evaluation: First of all you need to put up the information to customer that what are you going to evaluate and why ? Proper evaluation can only be done if customer provide enough right information. No psychologist or psychiatrist can judge about the person's past on discussing only. Some psychological tests like TAT, Roarschach, personality inventory can be done. It requires time(1 to 2 hours) and money (1500-2000 approx).
2. Yes it is good idea that one can find some one to rely but in that case that someone is also searching for that someone. It takes time to rely on someone completely. So matching is difficult.
3. Yes you must have some standard format which can be applicable to all without much bias and some fruitful conclusion can be brought out. And for that you have to involve many psychiatrists and psychologists as opinion of difference will be there.
4. Travelling to psychologist for one time is ok. But for needy persons 4-6 sessions are required. So you should have availability of psychologists and psychiatrists in most of the major cities to satisfy customer demand.
5. Even during get together you must have some plan that how you can motivate them to make proper relationship and find some one suitable for him/her. And frankly speaking there can be no perfect format by which we can arrange suitable match for someone easily as it is very much individual thing and many factors are involved. You have to give multiple choices to person.
Overall idea is good but to implement it practically seems not easy.
Hope this will help you to some extent.
