If it is a sci-fi device that's pointed toward the people and it shows "99.8%", then it sounds like Thing-O-Meter. A "Compatibility-O-Meter", if you will.

A scifi thing where the romantic compatibility between two prospective partners can (supposedly) be somehow measured, contradicting the common pov that love isn't a science. Can tie in to other things like Bureaucratically Arranged Marriage, but I'm interested in a trope for the tech/math/measurement part. This is the plot twist to one episode of Black Mirror and the premise of upcoming film Fingernails.
