    I think this could form the basis of a killer product - clothes shop that delivers you things that actually fit you - but only if retailers and their sweatshop suppliers would bother actually sticking to some semblance of a reproducible standard.

    I've totally lost track of my actual sizes - every new piece I buy always seems to list size in 5 different standards and the numbers are always different from the 5 different numbers that fit last time. Come to think of it, this constant change might not be entirely the fault of globalization, but I like to think so.

    Well sorry no, because already the torso to leg length ratio is covered by none of their question. (and yes, they list it as a limitation)

    It takes more like 10 seconds. For a large range of height and weight inputs crossed with all option combinations, you could precompute ~10M measurements and return results basically instantly.

    I'm guessing the writing is AI-assisted (there's no fluidity and it has some weirdly placed phrases) but I see they're in Poland and likely not English-language first?

    MLP trained on 8 questions achieves ~0.3cm height error, ~0.3kg weight error, and ~3-4cm for bust/waist/hips measurements.
