Social Utility · Balance of Connection

Support + positive weighed against conflict + drain — utility ratio with balance tilt.

Not every relationship needs to be net-positive — but the sum of your relationships must be, or you run at a deficit. This tool weighs the credit side (support + positive energy) against the debit side (conflict + drain) on a visual balance.

Utility = (support + positive) / (conflict + drain). Not every relationship needs to be ≥1 — but the set of all relationships in your life must be, or you run at a deficit.
Note: this is a signal, not a sentence. Use it to flag patterns worth addressing, not to grade specific people.

How to use

  1. Rate four dimensions 0–10: support given, positive energy, conflict cost, energy drain.
  2. Utility ratio = (support + positive) / (conflict + drain).
  3. Above 3 = high-yield · 1–1.5 = break-even · below 0.5 = parasitic.
  4. Use it to flag patterns — then decide whether to adjust frequency, have a hard conversation, or create distance.

Examples

Support 5 · positive 6 · conflict 3 · drain 2
Credit 11 · Debit 5 · Ratio 2.20 · Healthy_Surplus.
Support 2 · positive 3 · conflict 6 · drain 7
Credit 5 · Debit 13 · Ratio 0.38 · Parasitic.

Before you act on the result

Logic tools help expose a tradeoff, but they cannot see the full situation around the decision. Use the result to slow down the choice and name the assumption that matters most.

If one input drives the answer, test that assumption before treating the result as stable.

Frequently asked questions

› Isn't this transactional and cold? Trust & accuracy

It's a mirror, not a verdict. The point is to surface patterns you've been ignoring — not to grade anyone. The feeling of resisting this exercise often tells you more than the numbers.

› Does a low score mean I should end the relationship?

No. It means something is worth addressing. Distance, boundaries, and honest conversation all work before total removal — most relationships can be repaired or rebalanced if you actually try.
