What do you say matters?
Rate each domain 0–10. These are your stated values — what you consciously believe about your own priorities.
In economics, there is a foundational distinction between two ways of knowing what someone actually values.
Stated preferences
What you say matters. "I prioritize my health." "Family comes first." "I want to keep learning." These are your words about yourself.
Revealed preferences
What your choices show. Where your time actually goes. What you do when no one is watching. These are the empirical record.
Paul Samuelson formalized this distinction in 1938. Behavioral economists like Thaler and Kahneman spent decades documenting how wide this gap can be — and how systematically we deceive ourselves about it.
Nobody had built a tool that turns this lens on your own life. Reveal Gap does exactly that.
