Evidence over vibes.
What we want to measure, how we plan to publish, and an honest account of where the research stands today.
If you can’t measure it, you can’t improve it. And if you don’t publish it, no one can hold you to it.
Where we stand today
Honestly: early. We have not published outcome studies, and we don’t yet run formal pilots. There is no research team or clinical advisory board behind Calyn. What the product stands on today is the decades of published research behind the frameworks it draws on — CBT, ACT, IFS, and motivational interviewing — described in our clinical approach.
We would rather say that plainly than borrow credibility we haven’t earned. This page exists so you can hold us to it. When we have evidence of our own, it will be published here.
What we intend to measure
- Outcomes — whether people actually feel better, using established self-report measures such as PHQ-9 and GAD-7 over multi-week windows.
- Safety — how reliably conversations that need human support are pointed to it, including missed detections.
- Hand-off — how often people who need a human therapist or crisis line actually reach one.
How we will publish
When we run outcome studies, we will pre-register them and publish the methodology before the results. Until then, we won’t quote numbers we can’t back. Your conversations are not anonymized and are not shared with outside researchers — they stay linked to your account and are handled under our privacy policy. Get in touch if you want to collaborate.
