General Questions
What is coherence?
Coherence, as defined by ACI, is a state of regulatory stability across physiological, cognitive, behavioral, relational, and environmental domains. It is measurable, dynamic, and can be supported through intervention.
What is regulatory stability?
Regulatory stability is the ability of a system — human, team, or organization — to maintain adaptive function under internal and external pressure. It is the foundation of coherence.
Is ACI a nonprofit?
ACI is an independent research and practice organization. It is not currently registered as a nonprofit in any jurisdiction. Funding comes from consulting, assessments, and future certification programs.
How is ACI different from wellness or self-help?
ACI is evidence-based, measurement-driven, and systems-oriented. We do not sell quick fixes, lifestyle branding, or ideological frameworks. We offer open research, validated instruments, and professional services.
Assessment Questions
What is the CP-25?
The CP-25 is ACI’s 25-item assessment of regulatory stability across five domains. It is designed for research, clinical, and organizational use.
When will the interactive CP-25 be available?
The interactive version is under development. For research or organizational use in the interim, please contact us for offline administration options.
Is the CP-25 free?
The CP-25 instrument is open for research and clinical use under license. Interactive administration (when live) may carry a fee for non-research users.
How is the CP-25 scored?
Each domain produces a score from 0–100, along with a composite coherence index. Scoring protocols and norming data are published on the CP-25 page.
Research Questions
Can I use ACI instruments in my own research?
Yes. ACI instruments are available under open license for academic and clinical research. Please cite ACI as the source and, where possible, share anonymized aggregate data.
Does ACI collaborate with other researchers?
Yes. We welcome research partnerships, especially those involving validation studies, cross-cultural norming, and intervention trials. Contact us with a brief description of your project.
Where are ACI publications archived?
All publications are openly archived on Zenodo, OSF, and arXiv. Links are provided on each research page.
Consulting Questions
What does ACI consulting include?
Consulting engagements typically include a diagnostic phase (CP-25 deployment, systems mapping), implementation (protocol design, training), and longitudinal tracking. Engagements are tailored to each client.
How much does consulting cost?
Fees vary by scope and duration. A diagnostic engagement typically ranges from 150,000–300,000 THB (~4,000–8,000 USD). Longer implementations are priced separately.
Is consulting confidential?
Yes. All client data, assessment results, and engagement details are kept confidential. Anonymized aggregate data may be used for research with client permission.
Education Questions
Do you offer certification?
Certification programs are under development. We anticipate launching Associate and Practitioner levels within 12–18 months.
When will workshops be available?
Workshops are coming soon. See the Workshops page for details.
Can I book a workshop for my organization?
Yes. We offer private workshops for teams and organizations. Contact us for pricing and availability.
