How to use it

  1. 01 · Seven questions, no platform account.

    No email, no signup, no tracking. The tally stays on the device you started the quiz on — refresh and the result disappears with the rest of the session.

  2. 02 · A result that points somewhere.

    On submit the page surfaces two ready-made next steps: the shop category that fits the cluster you scored highest on, and the free First 90 Days of Perimenopause field guide.

  3. 03 · Not a clinical assessment.

    Karen is a registered counsellor, not a diagnostic service. The tally is an editorial triage, not a decision tool — hormonal decisions stay with your GP or treating clinician.
