Methodology

Built on an open standard.

Human Aligned Health does not invent its own measure of thriving. It uses the Thrivability Index, an open standard published under CC BY 4.0 at thrivability.ai. The full definitions, item wording, scoring, and revision history live there.

Each part of life uses a zero to ten, integer-step response. The overall score is the unweighted arithmetic mean of the eight parts of life, rounded to one decimal. There is no proprietary algorithm, no black box, no weighting. If you disagree with a definition, you can inspect it, use it under CC BY 4.0, and fork it.

The eight dimensions

• Mental Health
  A state of wellbeing in which you can realize your potential and cope with the normal stresses of life.
• Emotional Wellbeing
  Your capacity to process emotional experience and to recover from it, not the absence of difficult feeling.
• Social Wellbeing
  The quality of your close relationships and your sense of belonging.
• Physical and Biological
  A positive state of physical wellbeing, including energy and vitality, not merely the absence of illness.
• Financial Stability
  A sense of material security and freedom from economic stress.
• Purpose and Meaning
  A sense of direction and significance in your life and your work, and of connection to something larger than yourself.
• Personal Growth and Learning
  Your capacity to develop, adapt, and exercise competence across life and work.
• Community and Environmental Engagement
  Your participation in community and civic life, and your connection to place and the natural world.
