A person goes through the ordinary parts of a week, one at a time, and marks each one. There is no scale from one to ten and nothing to score. There is only what it does to them.
Forty eight items exist. Nobody answers all of them unless they own a business with their husband or wife, because the module only asks what applies to the life a person actually has.
The spouse question and the children question never appear. Marcus, on this page, answered 34.
Separately, in different rooms. The couple map appears when the second person finishes, not before. Daniel and Rachel answered 36 each.
The same 36, plus the twelve business items. Tyler and Bianca answered 48 each. About eleven minutes between the two of them.
Timed at the same pace as the main assessment, which runs about an hour across its 517 items. The Energy items are shorter than those, so this is the slow end of the estimate rather than the fast one.
These are taken word for word from the module. Nothing you tap is saved or sent anywhere. Watch what the card does when you answer.
Marcus is single and runs his own company. He answered thirty four items; the spouse question and the children question never appeared, because the module only asks what applies to the life a person actually has.
These take energy out. Every one is real work that costs him something.
Neutral. They neither drain him nor fill him. They are simply flat.
These put energy back. This is the refill list, and it is free.
Bills, budgeting, taxes, the insurance phone calls. Five of his eleven red lights sit in one area. That is not a discipline problem. That is one drawer of his life draining the whole week, and it is the first thing his coach will hand off.
Prayer, church, serving, worship, a long stretch of quiet, an empty day. His green list costs nothing and needs no permission. Most people cannot name theirs until they see it written down.
Hand the bookkeeping to somebody else and put the two hours it returns against the greens he already named. That is the whole first conversation, and it comes out of his own answers rather than anybody's advice.
Married, two children, no business together. They took it separately, in different rooms, and neither one saw the other's answers until the map was built. Nineteen items came back where one of them is red and the other is green.
She is green on cooking, groceries and the calendar; he is red on all three. He is green on the yard, the deadlines, the bills and the big money calls; she is red on all four. They have been splitting the week down the middle and both of them have been carrying the wrong half.
Out of seventy two answers there is exactly one thing neither of them wants to touch. That is not a conversation about fairness. That is a hundred and twenty dollars a month at a wash and fold, and it is the cheapest thing either of them will ever buy.
The only item they both marked green is time alone with each other. It is also the first thing that disappeared. The map does not tell them to date more. It shows them that the one thing they agree on is the one thing they stopped defending.
Same module, plus twelve more items that only appear when a couple owns a company together. They answered those separately too. The home map runs first, then the business one, and the second is usually the one that ends the argument.
At home their shape looks like Daniel and Rachel's: one shared red light, laundry, and two shared green ones, time alone together and worship. The twelve business items are where it gets useful.
Three items where Tyler is green and Bianca is red. He is the front of the company. Every hour he spends off the front of it costs them twice, once in what he is bad at and once in what nobody is doing.
Six items where Bianca is green and Tyler is red or flat. She has been asking him to look at the books for two years. The map says he should never look at the books again.
Front line customer service is the only business item they both marked red, and unhappy customers is red for him and flat for her. Neither of them should be answering that phone. That is the next person they hire, and they did not need a consultant to find it. They needed twelve questions and six minutes each.
Energy Lights is an add on. A certified practitioner turns it on for a client, sends the link by email or text, and the client takes it on their phone with nothing to install and nothing to log into.
Copy the link, email it or text it from the practitioner console. Husband and wife each get their own link so neither one answers in front of the other.
The map lands in the console the moment the second person finishes. The practitioner reads it, decides whether the timing is right, and then releases it.
One control: let them see their own map. Off by default. Some couples should hear it in the room before they read it alone at eleven at night.
The client never sees a number, a rank or a label. They see their own red, yellow and green lights, in their own words, and what to do about the first one.
Energy Lights is one module inside Stronghold. Certified practitioners send it, read it, and decide when the client sees it.
