About Holistic Actualization Points
Holistic Actualization Points (HAPs) are a universal scoring framework for evaluating opportunities across all life domains on a 1-10 scale based on how much they contribute to becoming the most actualized version of yourself. This system provides a single currency to compare disparate opportunities by measuring their contribution to self-actualization rather than just financial or immediate returns.
