Research
Part of something larger.
An opt-in, anonymized window into collective experience - honest about how early it is, and built so participation is visible from day one.

Watch participation light up
A timescale and a world map. Pick any hour and the map shows where experiences were logged - each coarse hex displaying how many occurred there in that hour, worldwide. Scrub through time and watch collective experience radiate.
Your data only with your yes
The map is built exclusively from entries where the author granted research consent and opted into location. Counts only - never identities, never precise locations.
It's early - and that's the point
The dataset is just beginning to grow. Rather than rush premature findings, the research tab shows what is real today: people, participating, over time. Insights will come from the anonymized dataset as it accumulates.
Research stays in-house
Research is conducted by AlignedContact itself - nothing is sold, licensed, or handed to outside parties. Where the work ever needs more hands, it comes through contractors engaged directly under confidentiality and data-processing agreements: the dataset stays under platform control, and outcomes are published back into the platform for the people who contributed.
Today that work is carried by one person - getting to real findings requires both a growing dataset and a platform that can sustain it. The technical foundations are already in place: per-entry consent, anonymized pseudonyms, and withdrawal.
