You know the list.

The supermarket. Phone calls. Getting out of the door on a Tuesday. Emails you have already read and still have not answered. Parties. The dentist.

Twenty-something entries, and the sentence almost everyone says at the end of them: I know it sounds like a lot.

It does. That is what lists do. They count. They do not explain.

Map those entries instead of counting them, and they collapse.

The supermarket and the birthday turn out to be the same thing wearing different clothes. The inbox and the group chat are one problem in two windows. Twenty entries, two or three systems, showing up in twenty different rooms.

Which changes what you do on Monday morning. You are not fixing twenty things. You are finding the two.

That is what this is for.

The SNIP™ Life Map is a navigation map of a life, drawn as a transit map because that is what it is. Three districts — how you function, how you live, how you meet the world. Twenty-seven stations. Four hundred and thirty-four everyday situations. And five neurocognitive lines running underneath all of it.

You do not enter at "executive function." Nobody thinks that way. You enter at I hate meetings, or why do birthdays wreck me, and the map shows you which lines are carrying the load.

It asks one question, four hundred and thirty-four times: what does this cost you right now? Not how well you do it. What it costs. That single change is why people finish this one when they have abandoned every other self-assessment — because nothing in it is asking them to grade themselves.

What you get

The interactive tool. Runs in your browser, nothing uploaded anywhere. Mark what each situation costs, and at the end it redistributes your marks onto the five systems and shows you which one or two are actually carrying them. Includes the leverage points and a build-your-own regulation kit.

The poster. Print-ready in ISO sizes from A3 to A0, plus an exact-size borderless file and a print guide. Vector, so it stays sharp at any size.

The self-assessment. All 434 situations on paper, with the results sheet that turns your marks into a single page you can take to a coach, a therapist or a Sunday afternoon.

The master reference. How the map is built and why — the four layers, all 27 stations, the interchanges, and the principles the whole thing is held to. Written for coaches, leaders and educators, and readable by anyone who wants to know what is under the hood.

The wheel. The same structure as a circle, for when you want the whole thing on one screen.

Who it is for

For yourself, first. Most people start here.

In coaching, the client arrives with the map already filled in, and the first session starts from evidence instead of I don't really know where to begin.

In leadership, the question moves from who is struggling to what is expensive here — and a manager who can read the map stops managing a difficult person and starts redesigning a costly environment.

In teaching, the same shift, one age group earlier.

And to bring to therapy — a filled-in map is twenty minutes of reconstruction your therapist does not have to do. It is not treatment and it does not replace any part of it. It is your own words, ready before you sit down.

What it is not

Not a test. Not a diagnosis. Not a personality type.

It does not screen for or rule out ADHD, autism or anything else, and the numbers carry no clinical meaning. It has not been clinically validated, and it does not pretend to be.

Nothing in it scores safety, coercive control, disordered eating or substance dependence. Those matter more than a number can carry, and the assessment says so where it comes up.

What it gives you is a picture of where your energy actually goes.

Not a test, not a diagnosis. The SNIP™ Life Map does not screen for or rule out ADHD, autism or any other condition, it has not been clinically validated, and the numbers carry no clinical meaning. It is an educational and reflective tool, and it is not a substitute for assessment or care from a qualified professional. Licensed for personal use. Working with clients, teams or any commercial use needs a separate license.

Built by Alexandra Robuste, author of Gentle Leading & Neurodivergence (Routledge). The thinking behind the map is set out in full, with nine peer-reviewed sources, in the article "You Are Not Twenty Problems."
