Question 1

Is anything I type here saved or sent anywhere?

Accepted Answer

No. The whole tool runs in your browser. The names you enter and the answers you give are never transmitted to NexSpark, there is no account and no email, and this page carries no analytics. You can open your browser's network tab and check while you use it.

Question 2

How many friends do I need to list?

Accepted Answer

One is enough. The tool works with anything from a single person up to eight. A short honest list is more useful than a padded one, and naming only one or two people is a common and perfectly valid answer.

Question 3

Will this tell me to cut someone off?

Accepted Answer

No, and it is built specifically not to. There are no scores, no rankings and no verdicts. It describes each friendship in plain language and leaves every decision to you. Noticing that a friendship costs you something is not the same as ending it.

Question 4

What is a friendship audit?

Accepted Answer

It is an honest look at who is actually in your corner: who initiates, who shows up when it is inconvenient, who you can relax around, and who you have been meaning to call. Our longer piece on what a friendship audit is covers the idea in full.

Question 5

Can I share my results?

Accepted Answer

There is no result sharing, on purpose. Your results are a set of judgments about named real people who did not agree to be assessed, so publishing them is not something we want to make easy. You can download your own copy to keep.
