A private, three-minute check-in, in two versions. One for teens, one for parents. On their own each gives you a real read. Together they show the same thing from both sides: how much of the real you is actually making it into the room.
Eight quick questions on how much of the real you makes it into the room right now, and one thing to try next. No grade. No right answers. Nobody sees it but you.
A no-judgment read on whether home is helping your teen stay themselves, or quietly teaching them to shrink. You already care, or you wouldn't be here. This shows you where to aim.
The research is blunt about it: the same wound moves through a household in real time. That's why the Index comes as a pair: the teen sees their side, the parent sees theirs, and the gap between them is usually the whole story.
How much of the real them shows up at school, in the group chat, online, at home, versus the edited version.
Whether home is widening the door or quietly narrowing it: autonomy, authenticity, and the belonging the data keeps pointing to.
The single factor tied to lower risk on every measure. Both check-ins point at the same fix, and it's very buildable, especially early.
For classrooms and pilots, the Unedited Index doubles as a measurement tool: run it before and after a unit, and the change is your outcome data, the piece that turns a pilot into a published result. It maps to all five CASEL competencies alongside the books.
measure the shift, publish the outcome
Take your version, then hand the other one to the person it's for. Each result points you at the book that fits.
