Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers about the Quiet Weight Index, what it is, how the score works, and how it differs from therapy or generic coaching.

Is this therapy?

No. QWI is a structured assessment and clarity process. It does not replace therapy, medical support or crisis care.

What does “Quiet Weight” mean?

Quiet Weight is the internal load created by unresolved decisions, emotional residue, responsibility, repeating patterns, relationship dynamics and pressure carried quietly while still functioning externally.

What is the FOCUS Framework?

FOCUS is the five-part method we walk through together in the private QWI 1:1: audit what your last big goal was really for, step off the default next ladder, shift from a finish line to a lasting direction, uncouple your worth from output, and sustain momentum with one simple daily metric. You can read the full framework on our FOCUS Framework page.

Who is this for?

Capable, high-functioning people who want a direct, structured way to understand what is weighing them down and what to do next.

What happens after I apply?

You book a short fit call. If the fit is clear, you receive the intake assessment and your private session is scheduled.

What does the Quiet Weight Index score mean?

Your Quiet Weight Index score (0–10) reflects the overall balance across all nine life areas. A high score signals broad satisfaction; a low score does not mean failure — it shows where your attention is most needed. Balance matters more than any single number.

What are the nine life areas?

The assessment covers: Purpose & Personal Growth, Body & Fitness, Health & Energy, Career & Fulfilment, Finances, Environment & Living Situation, Leisure & Recreation, Relationships, and Mental Balance. Together they form a complete picture of a balanced life.

How is the AI summary generated?

After you submit your ratings, a personal summary is created by an AI (Claude by Anthropic). It reflects on your specific scores and highlights the areas that shape your current life balance — always personalised to your results, never generic.

Is Quiet Weight Index a medical or clinical tool?

No. Quiet Weight Index is a self-reflection tool, not a clinical assessment. It does not diagnose any condition. If you have concerns about your mental or physical health, please consult a qualified professional.

Is my data private?

Your ratings and email address are stored securely on our server and are never sold or shared with third parties. The AI summary is generated via an encrypted connection. See our Privacy Policy for full details.

How often should I take the assessment?

Most people find it useful to reassess every one to three months. Life balance shifts over time — regular check-ins help you track what is improving and where to focus next.

Why do I need to enter my email?

Your email lets us send your results directly to your inbox so you can revisit them anytime. We respect your inbox — no spam, just your personal report.

Does a perfect 10 out of 10 mean my life is perfect?

Not exactly. A 10/10 simply means you feel fully satisfied in every area right now. The goal of Quiet Weight Index is not perfection — it is awareness. Even small improvements in your lower-scoring areas can shift how your whole life feels.
