Understanding Your Combined Report

Understanding Your Combined Report

Your combined report is ready — and you want to know what you're looking at. This article walks you through the three sections of the report, why it's written the way it is, and how to use it to have better conversations.

Why There Are No Individual Scores

The combined report is qualitative only. You won't see individual numeric scores, ratings, or anything that could be traced back to what one partner specifically said or felt. This is a deliberate design choice: a number next to your partner's name creates a comparison, not a conversation. The report is built to open doors, not assign grades.

If you want to explore your own individual patterns and scores, those are available privately in your UVettd Compass and check-in history — just not in the shared report.

The Three Sections

1. Alignment Zone

The Alignment Zone captures what's strong. These are the patterns that both partners noted positively — independently, without seeing each other's entries. When the same strength shows up in both check-ins, it carries real weight. This section is worth sitting with before moving to what needs attention.

2. Growth Zone

The Growth Zone surfaces what needs attention. These are the areas where both partners flagged friction — themes that showed up in both check-ins as points of tension or unmet need. Finding the same thing in both entries doesn't mean something is wrong; it means you both noticed it, which is the first step toward addressing it.

3. Blind Spots

The Blind Spots section is the most nuanced. This is where your perceptions diverged — areas where one partner's experience was noticeably different from the other's. Blind Spots don't declare a winner. They name the gap and invite curiosity: why did we experience this so differently? These are often the most valuable conversations a couple can have.

Conversation Starters

At the bottom of the combined report, you'll find conversation starters generated from the themes in your current check-in. These are specific to your report — not generic relationship advice. They're designed to give you a way in, especially for areas that might be harder to bring up on your own.

Two Ways to Use the Report

After reviewing the combined report, you have two coaching paths:

• Reflect on your own: Opens a private coaching chat with Yvette. Your partner cannot see this conversation. This is the right choice when you need to process something before you're ready to talk about it together.
• Discuss Together: Opens a shared coaching chat that both partners participate in. Both of you see the conversation as it unfolds. This works well for the Alignment Zone and Growth Zone sections, and for exploring conversation starters in real time.

You can use both in the same check-in cycle — reflect privately first, then bring what you're ready to share into a shared conversation.

Common questions about this topic

Why doesn't the combined report show scores?

Scores in a shared report create comparison, not connection. When one partner sees a number lower than the other's, the conversation shifts to defending or justifying the score rather than exploring the underlying experience. The qualitative format keeps the focus on patterns and meaning, which is where real growth happens.

What's the difference between Blind Spots and the Growth Zone?

The Growth Zone reflects areas where both partners flagged friction independently — shared tension that you both felt. Blind Spots reflect areas where your experiences diverged significantly — one partner may have felt things were fine while the other didn't. Growth Zone themes call for working together; Blind Spots first call for understanding each other.

Can we disagree with the combined report?

Absolutely. The report is a synthesis based on pattern recognition — it's a starting point, not a verdict. If something in the report doesn't resonate, that's worth exploring too. Bring it up with Yvette in a private or shared coaching session, or simply note it as you read through.

How long is the combined report available?

Your combined reports are saved in your check-in history indefinitely. You can revisit any previous report from Chosen → History. This is especially useful when reviewing patterns over time.

What if the Alignment Zone is empty?

An empty Alignment Zone means the pattern-matching didn't find themes that appeared positively in both entries for this cycle. It doesn't mean you don't have strengths — it may mean you both used this check-in to focus on what's hard. That's valid. The Growth Zone and Blind Spots are worth just as much attention.
