What this isn't: financial advice or a prediction engine.

Calibration note: these numbers don't measure your emotions. They approximate decision pressure — how likely you are to feel steady vs. reactive if the deal changes.
Score calibration (quick)
Overloaded — "This could knock you over."
0–19
High urgency + low protection. People tend to rush, concede, or avoid hard info.
- Best move: strengthen one protector before deciding.
Strained — "You can still steer, but it's hard."
20–39
You may feel pulled toward concessions. External pressure can take over.
- Best move: add one real option or one safeguard.
Managing — "Mostly okay, but spikes are likely."
40–59
Usually fine, but one weak spot can flip you into urgency.
- Best move: stabilize your weakest link.
Steady — "You'll be okay either way."
60–79
You can negotiate without panic. Losing the deal would sting, not destabilize.
- Best move: protect what's working (don't trade away safeguards under urgency).
Resilient — "This decision can't break you."
80–100
Strong safety net + strong safeguards + real options. You can walk away cleanly.
- Best move: optimize for fit without losing stability.

Active Pattern
Steady enough to proceed
Right now, your protections are keeping up with pressure. You're more likely to stay steady even if the deal shifts a bit.
Protection is keeping pace with pressure.
Attachment looks manageable relative to options.
Try next
- Before you submit: name your top 1–2 "must keep" terms.
- If pressure toggles turn on, add one protection before increasing commitment.
