What this means
This instrument starts blank so it does not judge a made-up example before you have entered your own situation.
Formula used
Regret risk = emotional heat + audience exposure + post type + private context + shaky future comfort + risky motive
Worked example
A revenge-flavoured public rant with names, screenshots, or workplace context scores much riskier than a calm update shared with close friends for connection.
Common questions
Does a high score always mean do not post?
No. It means the post is more likely to age badly, spread further than intended, or carry context you may wish you had handled differently.
What pushes the score up most?
Posting while emotional, sharing to a mixed or public audience, including private details, using revenge or validation as the motive, and feeling unsure about future visibility all increase the risk.
How long should I wait?
If the score is high, wait long enough for the emotional state to change. The point is to decide from a calmer room, not from the peak of the incident.
