A personal stocktake. Two minutes. Free.
Every week throws everything at you. Work. Relationships. Expectations. The version of yourself everyone else needs.
Somewhere between who you are and who you’re supposed to be — there’s a space. Most people never pause long enough to look at it.
This is that pause. Two minutes. See where you are.
The DIY Stocktake draws on established psychological and behavioural models.
Rather than asking you to understand the theory, it presents them in a practical, everyday form — things you can recognise and observe in your own life.
It looks at eight commonly identified problems faced by modern adults.
It is not a quiz, assessment or diagnostic tool.
It is a way to pause, look more closely at what may be happening, and — if you are curious enough to enquire further — expand your understanding and gain new insight into what might help move things towards resolution.
Responses to the DIY Stocktake are collected by Stocktake Research for research and development purposes.
No name, email address or phone number is required to complete the Stocktake.
Responses are used to understand which patterns hold across different people and to improve what we build.
Usage data — such as which screens are reached and how long responses take — is also collected against a random session reference so we can understand completion and drop-off. No cookies or persistent browser identifiers are used.
Responses are not sold or published in a form that identifies an individual.
At the end, there is an optional opportunity to continue with us. This is separate from completing the Stocktake.
Stocktake Research is a trading name of Aelexa Ltd, a UK company registered with the ICO.
You’ve just looked at 32 everyday situations across eight common issues.
This isn’t a score, diagnosis or assessment. It’s a summary of the patterns you recognised in your own responses.
Based on your responses, these were the areas that appeared most strongly.
That doesn’t tell you who you are. It gives you somewhere useful to look.
Enter your email and we’ll send you a copy of your Stocktake, including your responses and paw print.
Sending yourself a copy does not add you to our mailing list.
If you don’t want to be on our mailing list but would still like to see how the research develops, you can join the WhatsApp community.
We’ll use it to share what we’re learning from the Stocktake, what begins to emerge across different people, and where the research goes next.
If you’re curious to go deeper
Stocktake Research grew out of the founder’s own experience of trying to understand why certain problems can remain stubbornly present even when we understand them intellectually.
Psychology, coaching, mindfulness and other approaches can all be useful. But they can still leave a gap between understanding something and what actually happens in everyday life, in the moment.
That gap became the starting point for this research.
If you have ever found yourself thinking, “I understand this. So why does it keep happening?” — that is exactly the territory we are interested in.
The aim is not to replace existing approaches, but to look more closely at the problems people already recognise in their lives, and what might help make them easier to understand and move towards resolution.
There is an opportunity to read more about the founder and the research at the end.
If you’re curious to go a little deeper
There are two additional questions and an early access offer.
Interested in going further?
We’re developing the next stage of Stocktake Research — moving from recognising these patterns towards exploring what may help change them.
We’re inviting a small first group to get early access as it develops.
I’m happy to see updates without leaving my details:
Leave your details to join the Early Access list. We’ll share occasional updates as it develops and let you know when the first places are ready. There’s no obligation.
Thank you for taking part.
Your responses will help us understand which problems people most commonly recognise in everyday life, and where the research should go next.
If you joined Early Access, we’ll keep you updated as it develops.
Read more about the founder, how the research began, and what we’re exploring.
