How it helps

What ALYGN gives you

📋
Structured session reports
Clients generate a plain-language communication report — archetype, top patterns, perception gap score. Review it together at the start of a session.
🔬
Evidence-based foundations
ALYGN's 6 archetypes are grounded in Gottman Method (Four Horsemen, repair), CBT (automatic thought patterns), and Nonviolent Communication. The language will feel familiar.
🔒
100% private by design
Raw messages are processed in the client's browser and never sent to any server. Only the anonymised analysis (~3KB) is saved. GDPR, UK GDPR, and CCPA compliant. No PHI stored.
📈
Between-session tracking
Clients decode messages from their daily life — with partners, family, or colleagues. Over time, ALYGN tracks perception gap trends, flag frequency, and EQ score.
🧬
Archetype as shared language
The 6 archetypes give therapist and client a shared vocabulary for communication patterns — one you can reference in shorthand throughout sessions.
💬
Free for clients
No app install, no account, no cost. Clients open alygn.me on any device. You can recommend it without worrying about friction or payment barriers.
The session report

What the report looks like

Clients tap "Report for therapist" on their ALYGN profile and get plain-language text they can paste into a message or share directly.

Communication archetype — e.g. "The Absolutist: uses 'always'/'never' under stress (Gottman Four Horsemen risk)"
Perception gap score — Average % gap between intended meaning and perceived impact across decoded messages
Top 3 communication patterns — With frequency counts (e.g. "Absolute language: 7 times, Blame: 4 times")
Last 3 high-impact messages — Headlines of the most emotionally charged recent decodes (no raw text)
Professional disclaimer — Clearly marked as self-reflection data, not clinical assessment
The framework

6 archetypes — based on established research

Each archetype maps to patterns you'll recognise from Gottman, Beck, or Rosenberg.
