Domains

A domain is a topic or area of life where you’re making decisions or exploring ideas. Conical organizes conversations and personality assessments by domain because personality isn’t uniform—how you think about finances is different from how you think about relationships.

Predefined Domains

Conical includes 10+ domains covering common life decision areas:

Cultural Impact
Movie Analysis
Shoe Selection
Portfolio Rebalancing
Renting Versus Buying
Real Estate Decisions
Climate Change Strategy
Tax Preparation
Investment Selection
Pet Selection
Ethical Investing

When you start a conversation, the system automatically infers which domain it belongs to based on what you describe. You can also manually reassign conversations to different domains later.

How Domains Work

Each domain maintains its own separate collection of:

Conversations you’ve had
Assessments (CEP scores) you’ve completed
Historical data about how your thinking has evolved in that specific area

Domain Pages

When you click on a domain, you see three tabs:

Conversations Tab
- Button to start a new conversation in that domain
- List of active (Live) conversations
- List of completed conversations showing title, turn count, date, and action buttons
- Action buttons: View, Analyze (generate/view CEP), Archive
Assessments Tab
- Your completed CEP assessments in that domain
- Assessment dates and scores
- Historical progression of your profile over time
Compare Tab
- Quick access to domain comparison tools
- See how your personality in this domain compares to other domains

Why Domains Matter

Domains exist because context changes how you think. You might be:

Highly analytical when discussing 401k rebalancing
More emotionally engaged when discussing family decisions
More open to new ideas in creative domains
More conscientious in financial domains

By measuring your CEP separately in each domain, Conical captures how your thinking style varies across different parts of your life.
