Longitudinal Deltas
Quantified changes in a person’s scores or dimensions over time (the “delta” between check-ins).
What This Really Means
Deltas help distinguish temporary states (stress season, life change) from stable traits.
In global products, deltas should be interpreted with context (life stage, health, relationship events) and communicated carefully so users don’t treat normal fluctuation as failure.
Examples
Change in “sexual confidence” from last month
Shifts in arousal brakes during a high-stress period
Improvement in communication comfort after repeated check-ins.
Common Misunderstandings
Tap each myth to reveal the reality
Deltas prove the relationship isn’t always improving or failing, and Longitudinal Deltas is about quantified changes in a person’s scores or dimensions over time (the “delta” between check-ins).
Any negative delta can feel like bad sometimes, but Longitudinal Deltas refers to quantified changes in a person’s scores or dimensions over time (the “delta” between check-ins).
More accurately, Longitudinal Deltas refers to quantified changes in a person’s scores or dimensions over time (the “delta” between check-ins), and deltas are comparable across users without context doesn’t follow from that.
Longitudinal Deltas describes quantified changes in a person’s scores or dimensions over time (the “delta” between check-ins), so it doesn’t mean that deltas remove the need for conversation.
