See how you're really performing.
Most of us are moving fast, but are we moving in the right direction? The Values-Aligned Performance Indicator™ (VAPI™) gives you an honest snapshot across 12 domains and 3 arenas of your life, so you know exactly where you're strong, where you're leaking energy, and which levers will get you where you want to go.

You can't fix what you don't measure.
High performers often assume they're "doing fine" everywhere until one area cracks. Burnout, strained relationships, or a business that runs on fumes. The truth is, we're usually over-indexed in a few domains and under-invested in others. We guess where to focus. We double down on what we're already good at and avoid the spots that feel uncomfortable.
The VAPI™ doesn't judge. It measures. You answer 72 statements about your actual experience over the past 30 days. Not your best day, not your intentions. Your honest baseline. From that, you get a clear picture: scores across 12 domains grouped into personal, relationship, and business arenas. You see your top three strengths and your top three priorities. No fluff. No generic advice. Just a map so you can decide where to go next with clarity, conviction, and confidence.
One assessment. 12 domains. 3 arenas.
The VAPI™ is built around 12 core domains that matter for an aligned, high-impact life and business. Each domain is scored 0–10. They're grouped into three arenas so you can see patterns at a glance.
Personal
Physical Health, Inner Alignment, Mental / Emotional, Attention & Focus. How you're showing up for yourself.
Relationships
Relationship to Self, Family, Community, World / Impact. How you're showing up for others and the world around you.
Business
Vision / Strategy, Execution, Operational Health, Ecology. How you're showing up in your work and systems.
You'll see your score for each domain and each arena, plus an overall composite. No more guessing. You'll know exactly where you stand.
9 Founder Archetypes. One is yours.
Your scores map to one of nine Founder Archetypes, each with a distinct pattern, strengths, blind spots, and growth path. The assessment doesn't just tell you your numbers. It tells you who you are as a founder right now and what to do next.
The Architect
"You've built a life and business that actually work together."
The Journeyman
"Almost there. One arena is holding the rest back."
The Phoenix
"In the fire. Not finished."
The Engine
"Building fast. Building wrong."
The Drifter
"Fine everywhere. Exceptional nowhere."
The Performer
"Impressive output. Crumbling foundation."
The Ghost
"Building an empire. Disappearing from your own life."
The Guardian
"All heart. Needs a vehicle."
The Seeker
"Deeply self-aware. Stuck in insight."
Take the assessment to discover which archetype is yours—and get the full profile with strengths, blind spots, and your next growth step.
What you'll get
- Your Founder Archetype. A personalized profile based on your scores: The Architect, The Journeyman, The Phoenix, The Engine, The Drifter, The Performer, The Ghost, The Guardian, or The Seeker, with a tagline, strengths, blind spots, and a growth path tailored to your pattern.
- Scores across all 12 domains + 3 arenas. So you see exactly where you stand. Each domain and arena gets a 0–10 score and a tier (e.g. Dialed, Functional, Below the Line) so you know what's working and what needs attention.
- Your top 3 strengths + 3 priority focus areas. Plain-language insight on where you're already strong and where a little more focus could unlock the most. No generic advice; your map, your levers.
- Interpretations for every score. What each tier means for that domain or arena, so you can reflect and decide what to do next.
- Your pattern driver. The internal driver pattern behind how you perform under pressure, unpacked on your results page and in the Driver Library so guidance fits how you actually behave—not a generic template.
- Your personalized 28-day sprint (My Plan). Week-by-week actions aimed at your highest-leverage growth edge, generated when you complete the assessment using the same email as your free Aligned Portal or ALFRED account. Open it in the portal or the app.
- Your results in one place. Save as PDF and revisit anytime. If you create a portal account with the same email, your results are saved so you can track progress over time, not start over.
