# AXIOM Analysis

## Psychology Analysis Guide

Version 1.0 | April 12, 2026

## Purpose

Use the Psychology domain when you want AXIOM to organize case material, surface behavioral patterns, preserve ambiguity, and identify the gaps that matter most before a real professional judgment call.

This workflow is strongest when the material clearly separates:

- self-report
- observed behavior
- collateral report
- documented record

---

## Best Starting Settings

### Full case review

- Domain: `Psychology`
- Modules: `case`, `deep`
- Report depth: `Standard`
- Engine: `AXIOM Gateway` or `Auto`
- Live sources: `off`

### Hiring / candidate review

- Domain: `Psychology`
- Modules: `hiring`
- Report depth: `Standard`
- Engine: `Gemini` or `Auto`
- Live sources: `on` only if public context matters

### Therapeutic pathway review

- Domain: `Psychology`
- Modules: `therapeutic`
- Report depth: `Standard`
- Engine: `AXIOM Gateway` or `Auto`
- Live sources: `off`

## What To Prepare

Before you run the analysis, collect:

- presenting problem
- timeline
- observed behavior
- self-report
- collateral
- risk and protective factors
- current functioning
- history and unknowns

For hiring runs, also include:

- candidate material
- role requirements
- company context

---

## Best Input Pattern

The cleanest current pattern is:

1. fill out the intake template
2. upload the intake plus the actual case or candidate material
3. keep the portal prompt short

Do not rely on instructions alone. The actual case material must be present.

---

## Common Mistakes

- selecting every psychology mode at once
- using `fast` when you want a full report
- turning on live sources for fictional case material
- uploading only instructions instead of the real case
- forgetting role and company context in hiring work

---

## Recommended Run Order

1. Start with `case + deep` and `Standard`
2. Fix missing case material if the output says `[NO DATA]`
3. Improve the source pack if the report feels generic
4. Only then try `Deep`

---

## What A Strong Result Should Include

A strong psychology report should clearly show:

- the strongest supported pattern
- the maintaining cycle
- the tension between stated and observed needs or behavior
- risk and protective factors
- contradictions and ambiguities
- the most important missing inputs
