Methodology: items are a structural adaptation of widely used frameworks, not an official version; scoring is indicative, not diagnostic.
Stress is not a checklist of causes but a felt sense of overload and unpredictability — which is what this ten-item check scores. Adapted from the classic perceived-stress framing, it places the total in indicative bands and generates an AI report naming which dimension dominates, giving therapists and clients a concrete starting point for coping work.
