How our assessments work

The questions, scoring and report text are written and maintained by the Coxpa editorial team. None of the tools has been reviewed by a clinician, and we do not claim professional credentials we do not have.

Each tool asks a fixed set of statements answered on an agreement scale. Every statement belongs to one dimension. A dimension score is the average of its answers, rescaled to 0 to 100, with reverse-worded statements flipped first. All statements in a dimension carry equal weight.

• Corelpa compares two people's answers to the same statements, area by area, and highlights where they agree and where they differ.
• Codespa scores 56 statements across seven readiness dimensions and maps the overall profile to a descriptive archetype.
• Cofelpa scores a short weekly check-in across mood areas so you can compare one week with the next.

The dimensions draw on themes common in published relationship and wellbeing research, such as attachment, communication under conflict, shared values and stress. For example, see the Gottman Institute research overview. That research studies people and couples in general. It does not test or validate any Coxpa tool.

We check that questions read clearly and that scoring behaves as intended. No Coxpa tool has undergone formal reliability or validity testing, and we publish no accuracy figures.

• A result describes your answers on one day, not a fixed trait.
• It is not a diagnosis and not a substitute for professional support.
• It cannot guarantee or forecast whether, when, or with whom a relationship works.
