What Your Calibration Includes & Privacy Standard

Immediate Signal Preview (Included)

Upon completing all 25 interactive steps, you immediately receive your primary SWI Archetype code, 3-axis percentage coordinates (Maximizer Threshold, Counterfactual Rumination, Commitment Velocity), telemetry confidence score, and an exportable .SVG Master ID stamp.

Full Multi-Axis Dossier & Operating Manual

For deeper exploration, you may optionally unlock the extended SWI Dossier—containing multi-paragraph behavioral synthesis, high-friction blind spots under stress, and a tailored personal operating manual.

Instrument Briefing & FAQ

What does The Decision Paralysis & Overthinking Index measure?

The Decision Paralysis & Overthinking Index maps your pattern across three core axes: Maximizer Threshold, Counterfactual Rumination, and Commitment Velocity, using interactive scenario and visual calibration tasks.

Is The Decision Paralysis & Overthinking Index a clinical diagnosis?

No. The Decision Paralysis & Overthinking Index is a structured self-reflection and behavioral pattern instrument designed for personal insight, not medical or clinical diagnosis.

How is my SWI signal calculated?

Your responses across all 5 diagnostic phases—including visual matrices, continuum sliders, and scenario trade-offs—are synthesized into a 3-axis coordinate profile and an interlocking SWI archetype.
