What this means

A points system across 7 dimensions: duration, raised, changed, daily impact, pattern, intentionality, long-term tolerance.

Formula used

score = sum of 7 dimensions (duration, raised, changed, impact, pattern, intentionality, long-term tolerance). 0-4: just annoying. 5-8: worth addressing. 9-13: significant. 14+: dealbreaker.

Worked example

Romantic partner, over a year, dismissed, no change, often impacts mood, regular pattern, probably intentional, probably not fine = score 17 → Dealbreaker.
