You’ve noticed a concern. Now how do you use that information with care?
It can be difficult to hold two truths together: something deserves attention, and you cannot know the entire relationship from outside it.
The Outside the Relationship Score Guide helps you interpret your assessment without losing either truth.
It explains:
What each result means—and how limited information differs from reassurance that nothing is wrong.
Why observations about private speech, outside contact and consequences for choices are considered together.
How a specific serious concern can matter independently of the broader pattern.
Why a companion’s presence or explanation should not automatically be treated as neutral.
How to preserve conflicting accounts and uncertainty rather than force a conclusion.
How responses differ for friends, relatives and professionals.
You can offer support without taking ownership of another person’s decisions.
The guide discusses listening, practical help, information and respecting a request for no contact for now. It also addresses the risks of becoming an intermediary, contacting the partner or sharing sensitive information.
For professionals, it emphasizes established confidentiality, documentation, safeguarding and reporting procedures. For personal supporters, it explains the value of consulting a domestic violence specialist about how to help safely.
You’ll also find guidance on retaining or sharing your result without compromising privacy.
This guide helps you move from worry toward a more considered response—one that takes the person’s wishes, the available evidence, their safety and your own seriously.
Digital companion to the Outside the Relationship Assessment, sold separately. Educational guidance, not an investigation, diagnosis or substitute for professional protocols.
