How It Works

From your story to your narrative profile in three steps.

01

Share Your Story

Describe a decision that changed everything, a moment you felt fully alive, and the year you'd erase if you could. Five questions. No right answers.

02

Narrative Analysis

Our algorithm maps 8 dimensions of your story: how you transform difficulty, connect events, make meaning from experience.

03

Your Report

Your narrative type, your hidden patterns, a shadow chapter — the life you didn't live — and prompts to grow your story forward.

10 Narrative Types

Every life tells a different kind of story. Which one is yours?
