The Formation Read shows where your character holds under pressure today. The Pattern Read, opening later, looks at the decisions you actually make over time. They answer different questions, so they're built differently.
Where your formation holds today.
How you actually decide, over time.
| The Formation Read | The Pattern Read | |
|---|---|---|
| The question | Where does my character hold under pressure? | Where do I skip the check I had? |
| What it looks at | What you say you'd do in twenty situations | Decisions you log over time |
| Time | One sitting | Weeks |
| What you get | Your read across four virtues and a growth edge, right away | Questions first. A named pattern only once the evidence holds up |
| When it says nothing | Until you've answered | Whenever the evidence is thin, and it tells you so |
| Direction | A growth edge you can work on | Only with your consent to the direction |
| Who it's for | Anyone 13 and over, and under 13 with a guardian's consent | Adults, 18 and over, first. You confirm your age when it opens |
| Status | Open, free | Not open yet. Early access is free |
Neither is therapy, a clinical measure, or a validated instrument. Both are early, honest work, and we say what they can't do.
It's open now and takes one sitting. If you want to understand how you decide over time, join early access for the Pattern Read as well. Doing one doesn't commit you to the other.
No right‑looking answer to pick. The read scores what the choice would cost you, across courage, wisdom, temperance, and justice. This is one of twenty.
