The 3 Laws of Creative Alpha

A performance measurement system to analyze the true health of your creativity.

Rate your Autonomy, Resonance, and Intensity below. Your results generate a personalized playbook. Complete it weekly to track your growth.

Law I
Creative Autonomy
"Freedom Creates Output"
Autonomy Quotient (AQ) measures your freedom to create. Good inputs (energy, space, optionality) multiply together. Constraint divides the result. The cube root smooths extreme values.
AQ = 10 Γ— βˆ›[(E Γ— S Γ— O) / (C Γ— 10)]

Creativity requires surplus energy, mental space, and optionality. The Autonomy Quotient measures your capacity to create without being strangled by obligation.

Energy Surplus 5
"If an exciting opportunity appeared now, could I engage fully?"
DepletedModerateAbundant
Mental Space 5
"How many minutes before my mind wanders to worries?"
ClutteredManageableClear
Optionality 5
"If I wanted to pivot my direction tomorrow, what would stop me?"
TrappedSome ChoiceFull Freedom
Constraint Load 5
"How much of my week is locked by things I genuinely CAN'T change? (contracts, caregiving, health, debt)"

Law II
Resonant Work
"Depth Beats Breadth"
Resonance Index (Ri) measures how deeply you connect. Impact, identity, and boldness multiply together, then divide by audience size. Bigger audiences LOWER the score because depth beats breadth.
Ri = (I Γ— Id Γ— B) / [10 Γ— (1 + ln(A/1000))]

Success depends not on audience size but on emotional depth. The Resonance Index separates real art from algorithm noise.

Emotional Impact 5
"Has anyone said my work changed how they see the world?"
ForgettableEngagingLife-Changing
Identity Fit 5
"If I stopped creating, how many would genuinely mourn?"
GenericRelatable"Made for Me"
Artistic Boldness 5
"When did I last make something that scared me to publish?"
SafeInterestingFearless
Audience Size 32K

Law III
Craft Intensity
"Flow Is the Measure of Mastery"
Craft Intensity (Ci) measures active growth. Flow, evolution, and risk multiply together. Admin, distraction, and stagnation divide the result. These dividers kill your creative capacity.
Ci = 10 Γ— βˆ›[(F Γ— E Γ— R) / (A Γ— D Γ— S)]

Great art requires time in flow, not admin, chaos, or fear. This operational audit measures how "alive" your craft is.

Flow Hours (weekly) 15
"How many hours did I lose track of time in deep work?"
1h30h60h
Skill Evolution 5
"What skill am I noticeably better at than 6 months ago?"
StagnantLearningRapid Growth
Creative Risk 5
"What experiment am I running that might fail?"
Playing SafeExperimentingBold Risks
Admin Load (weekly) 15
"How many hours/week go to emails, scheduling, invoicing, and tasks you could automate or delegate?"
1h30h60h
Distraction (weekly) 15
"What does my screen time report say? How much was intentional?"
1h30h60h
Stagnation Level 5
"What project am I avoiding out of fear? How long has it waited?"
FearlessSome BlocksParalyzed

The Compounding Engine

The three laws form a synergistic feedback loop. When Autonomy, Resonance, and Intensity feed each other, creative returns compound exponentially.
