Stake-Geometry is a way of seeing the structure of what matters to you: how many things you hold, how deeply, how far they reach, and whether they hold together. It comes with a free self-survey that draws your own shape.
A naturalistic account of where value comes from, built from a single starting point: if something matters to someone, that mattering is real.
Read the idea →A guided self-survey that maps the breadth, depth, and reach of what you care about, then draws it as one picture you can revisit.
Take the survey →An interactive map of the framework: the aperture, the network of others, the tiers of value, and how a shape grows or collapses.
Explore the map →Think of something you love. Now picture it gone. That drop in your chest is not an opinion about the world. It is the world mattering to you, from the inside.
That is where good and bad come from. Not a rulebook in the sky, but the plain fact that things can matter to someone. A rock cannot be wronged. A person can, because a person can feel it.
Once you look at value this way, the things you care about turn out to have a structure, and a shape. It can grow over a lifetime, or collapse under grief, fear, or depression. The survey draws your shape. The framework explains why it is worth looking at.
The shape has five dimensions. The survey scores each one and draws them together. Reach is measured three ways, which is why the picture has seven spokes.
How many different things matter to you at all.
How much any one of them can matter.
How far your stakes extend across time, distance, and abstraction.
Whether what you care about holds together or pulls against itself.
Whether your commitments update with new experience.
The instrument walks you through what matters to you, one area at a time, then draws it as a seven-spoke shape you can read at a glance and return to as you change.
