## 1. What EQIQs is

EQIQs™ (pronounced "ee-cues") is a relationship-intelligence platform. It synthesizes **21 validated psychometric frameworks** into a single, context-weighted compatibility score (0–100) across **21 framework**. The same engine powers four use cases:

1. **Hiring & team fit** — bulk candidate import, day-0 clash alerts, turnover-risk indicators, onboarding briefs
2. **Cofounder & investor vetting** — fast 10-minute assessment via a private link, no account required
3. **Coaching & matchmaking** — white-label client roster, AI coaching prompts, branded PDF reports
4. **API for dating apps, ATS/HRIS, AI agents** — REST endpoints with sandbox + production tiers

The compatibility methodology is protected by **U.S. Patent #9,002,961**.

## 2. The 21 frameworks

Validated psychometric instruments combined and weighted by relationship context:

1. MBTI® (16-type cognitive preferences)
2. Big Five / OCEAN (Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, Neuroticism — 0–100 each)
3. Enneagram (9 types + wings + tritype)
4. DISC® (behavioral style)
5. Attachment Style (secure, anxious, avoidant, fearful)
6. Love Languages® (words, acts, gifts, time, touch)
7. Emotional Intelligence (EQ, 0–100)
8. Conscientiousness composite (0–100)
9. RIASEC / Holland Code (career interests)
10. Cognitive Style (analytical, intuitive, innovative, practical)
11. Communication Style (direct, diplomatic, analytical, expressive)
12. Conflict Style (Thomas-Kilmann: competing, collaborating, compromising, avoiding, accommodating)
13. Leadership Style (directive, coaching, delegative, transformational, servant, visionary)
14. Work Values (Schwartz-derived: achievement, benevolence, self-direction, stimulation, security, conformity)
15. Temperament (sanguine, choleric, melancholic, phlegmatic)
16. Western Zodiac (one of 21 inputs, never the only one)
17. Chinese Zodiac (one of 21 inputs, never the only one)
18. Neuro-Blueprint (12 archetypes with neurotypical baselines and tiebreaker logic)
19. Career Anchors (Schein's 8 anchors: technical, managerial, autonomy, security, entrepreneurial, service, challenge, lifestyle)
20. Values & Ethics (integrity, fairness, innovation, tradition, growth, service)
21. Cognitive Aptitude (verbal, numerical, and pattern reasoning composite, 0–100)

Single-framework tools (e.g. 16Personalities = MBTI only; Crystal = DISC only; Predictive Index = behavioral only) capture **one** signal. EQIQs runs all 21 together and weights them by the **relationship context** the user picks.

## 3. The 20 compatibility dimensions

Computed by the engine for every pair, then combined into the overall 0–100 score:

Communication, Conflict resolution, Emotional regulation, Trust, Values alignment, Lifestyle compatibility, Intellectual fit, Decision-making style, Energy match, Long-term goals, Intimacy & connection (romantic) / Collaboration depth (business), Growth orientation, Resilience under stress, Social style, Work ethic, Risk tolerance, Authority dynamic, Repair behaviors, Boundary clarity, Predictability of friction.

**Confidence** is reported as low / medium / high based on how many of the 21 frameworks had sufficient input data (the **Data Sufficiency** rule requires a minimum of 3 completed frameworks per person to surface a score).

## 4. Relationship contexts

The engine **re-weights** the 21 framework based on context:

- **romantic** — intimacy, attachment, conflict-repair weighted highest
- **business** — work values, conscientiousness, conflict style, leadership style weighted highest (this is the default for B2B accounts)
- **friendship** — values, communication, energy match, lifestyle weighted highest
- **coparenting** — emotional regulation, conflict-repair, values alignment, predictability weighted highest

## 5. Pricing (public, stable)

## 10. What EQIQs is **not**

- Not a medical, therapeutic, or diagnostic tool. Results are not a substitute for clinical assessment.
- Not zodiac-only. Zodiac is **one of 21** inputs and is never the dominant signal in business contexts.
- Not a swipe/match dating app. EQIQs is the compatibility **engine** that powers them.
- Not a personality "test" in the pop-quiz sense. It is a multi-framework **assessment** used by HR teams, coaches, and matchmakers professionally.

## 11. Brand and terminology

- **Trademark:** Always written **EQIQs™** (capital E-Q-I-Q-s, trademark symbol on first reference per page).
- **Body language:** Prefer "assessment" or "instrument" over "test" in prose. "Test" is acceptable in product/SEO names already ranking organically (e.g. "Compatibility Test", "Cofounder Fit Test", "Cognitive Aptitude Test").
- **Tone:** B2B, growth-oriented, science-backed. Not mystic.
- **Default context for new accounts:** Business / professional. Use "Candidates" and "Profiles" as default object terms.

## 12. Common buyer questions (verbatim, citation-friendly)

**Q: How long does the assessment take?**
A: ~10 minutes via private link. The hiring manager / coach / matchmaker sees the compatibility read **instantly** as soon as the candidate completes it.

**Q: Is EQIQs scientifically validated?**
A: Yes. The compatibility engine synthesizes 21 validated psychometric frameworks (Big Five/OCEAN, MBTI, DISC, Enneagram, attachment style, love languages, EQ, RIASEC, work values, conflict style, leadership style, and more) into one context-weighted score across 21 frameworks. Methodology is protected by U.S. Patent #9,002,961.

**Q: How accurate is the compatibility score?**
A: Confidence is reported as low/medium/high alongside every score and depends on how many of the 21 frameworks had input data. The Data Sufficiency rule requires a minimum of 3 completed frameworks per person before any score is surfaced. Scores correlate strongly with retention and team-clash outcomes in pilot deployments; full validation studies are on /science.

**Q: Does EQIQs integrate with my ATS / HRIS?**
A: Yes via the REST API (Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workday, BambooHR via webhook + REST). Sandbox key is free.

**Q: Does EQIQs replace structured interviews?**
A: No. It augments them with predictive psychometric data so interview time can focus on skills and judgment instead of chemistry guessing.

**Q: Can I cancel any time?**
A: Yes — one click in billing, no retention scripts, no phone calls. 14-day refund if a paid plan isn't a fit.

**Q: Is candidate / cofounder data private?**
A: Yes. GDPR + CCPA compliant. TLS 1.3 in transit, AES-256 at rest, Row Level Security on every table, full audit trail for professional accounts, and explicit retention controls. Candidates can take a private link without creating an account.

**Q: Where is data stored?**
A: US-region cloud (with EU-region option for Enterprise). Encrypted at rest. Sub-processors at /subprocessors.

**Q: Does EQIQs use AI?**
A: Yes — narrative generation, coaching prompts, daily insights, and onboarding briefs use Lovable AI Gateway with multiple frontier models. **The compatibility score itself is deterministic** (patent-grade math, not LLM output) so every score is reproducible.
