Beginning
Gossip and catching up weren’t enough.
When friends and family got together, the same topics came up — reminiscing, updates, surface chat. I was in self-discovery and wanted to know what made my circle tick.
1 to 10 and Then
The search for meaningful conversations.
It began with a simple frustration: deeper talks with the people I love and know me best.
Inspiration leads to investigation
Write the question. Answer with a number.
In a moment of haste I wrote the question down and asked for only a number from 1 to 10. Suddenly everyone went quiet — and a new kind of conversation began.
It also occurred to me that I had a number for how I perceived their relationship to the same idea. After deep introspection, numbers were written for ourselves and shared with one another. A brand new form of conversation was born.
Why it works
A number bypasses the usual defenses.
Reducing a belief to a single number creates efficient, intimate conversation — a spectrum, not black and white.
- Delivers a unique approach to thinking about ourselves.
- Gets to the heart of who we are and what we believe — quickly.
- Opens conversations about growth and the obstacles to it.
- Creates a channel to hear and be heard through useful feedback.
What we do
Better relationships through real connection.
Every lit-up face and story of insight pushes us to share this tool more widely. We hope we can play together.
