Before you start.
Is it really free?
Yes. All 3 modules are free. No limited trial, no surprise paywall. If you want to go further afterwards, there’s the Escape Lab (group cohort) and Escape Now (1-on-1 coaching), but the Kit itself is 100% free and complete.
How much time does it take?
Module 1 (The Mirror): 5 minutes. Module 2 (The Map): 8 minutes. Module 3 (The Compass): 15 minutes. You can do each module separately — your progress is saved.
What is it based on?
Based on the 6 Human Needs model (Robbins & Madanes, Strategic Intervention), the Competency Trap concept (Levitt & March, 1988), and 15 years of direct observation in the creative industry — VFX studios, gaming, music, design.
Are my data shared?
No. Your diagnosis remains private and is saved locally. If you choose to leave your email to unlock your detailed results, you'll be added to the newsletter (one email per month, unsubscribe in one click).
I read the book. What more does the Kit give me?
The book gives you the conceptual framework. The Kit gives you YOUR specific profile. It’s the difference between understanding a map and knowing where YOU are on the map.
Is Module 3 a quiz?
No. It’s an interactive reflection guide. No right or wrong answers — open-ended questions with examples from the book to inspire you. Your answers are saved locally and you can revisit them.
