# SLIDE 2: THE PROBLEM

## 70% of Relationships Fail Due to Poor Communication

**The Crisis:**
- 40% of marriages end in divorce
- 50% of adults are single (many struggling with attachment patterns)
- Divorced individuals repeat same patterns in new relationships
- Couples wait 6 years before seeking help - by then, it's often too late

**Why Current Solutions Fail:**
- **Therapy:** €100-200/session, inaccessible for most
- **Self-help books:** No personalization, no accountability
- **Existing apps:** Generic advice, couples-only focus excludes singles
- **Privacy concerns:** 64% worry about data security in relationship apps

**The Gap:**
No one serves the full relationship journey (single → dating → committed → divorced) with scientific depth, deep personalization, and privacy-first architecture.

# SLIDE 3: THE SOLUTION

## RelationshipIQ: Privacy-First Relationship Wellness for Everyone

**What We Do:**
Transform relationships through attachment theory-based personalized guidance with Signal-level security - whether you're single, dating, committed, or divorced.

**How It Works:**
1. **Scientific Assessment** - ECR-12 validated attachment style test (2 minutes)
2. **Personalized Content** - Rule-based recommendation engine tailored to your attachment profile and relationship status
3. **Daily Check-ins** - 10-second mood tracking builds self-awareness
4. **Progress Tracking** - Relationship health score shows measurable improvement
5. **Zero-Knowledge Security** - We literally cannot read your data

**Who We Serve:**
- 💑 **Couples** - Strengthen existing relationships
- ✨ **Singles** - Understand patterns, prepare for healthy relationships
- 💔 **Divorced** - Break old patterns, build healthier futures
- 💕 **Dating** - Navigate new relationships with confidence

**Key Differentiators:**
- ✅ First app centered on attachment theory for ALL relationship stages
- ✅ Zero-knowledge encryption (Signal-level)
- ✅ Research-validated assessments (ECR-12, RAS, Gottman)
- ✅ Non-medical (no regulatory burden)
- ✅ Privacy-first (GDPR advantage)
