you keep avoiding
has a cost.

What your results look like

A sample result from a salary negotiation session. Hover each score to learn what it measures.

Readiness Score
69
out of 100 — Regulation + Articulation + Mental Clarity
72
Regulation Score
Regulation Score (0–100)
Measures how well your nervous system stayed online under pressure. Higher = more regulated. 70+ is strong. Based on response patterns: word count under pressure, hedging frequency, recovery speed after pushback.
68
Articulation Score
Articulation Score (0–100)
Measures how clearly and precisely you communicated your position. Tracks: position clarity, unnecessary qualifiers, how quickly you re-grounded after being challenged.
74
Mental Clarity
Mental Clarity Score (0–100)
Measures the quality of your reasoning under pressure. Did you respond to what was actually asked? Did your logic hold across rounds? Based on decision science research.

The Shrink
Language softened under pressure. You gave ground before they pushed. The position was right — the delivery undermined it. Seen in 67% of professionals (Patterson, Crucial Conversations).
The biology: Pre-emptive concession (Cialdini) + sympathetic nervous system activation. The body reads challenge as threat and softens language before any pushback occurs. The nervous system moves before the mind catches up.
