Foundation Nova Diem
We build the tools that help people understand themselves.
We don't just identify potential, we unlock it.
Foundation Nova Diem designs assessment and reporting systems that treat people as more than a score. Our flagship work, Lux, pairs plain-language insight with the kind of evidence discipline most assessments never show.
Our mission
Understanding people, not sorting them
Foundation Nova Diem builds psychological tools that start from strengths and patterns rather than deficits and categories. We hold our own work to a standard most of the assessment field never publishes: traceable evidence, versioned scoring and results that are checked, not just claimed. Every person who takes one of our assessments should leave with something useful, and every organisation that partners with us should be able to see exactly how we arrived at it.

Foundation Nova Diem's flagship work
Lux
Lux is a strengths-first psychological assessment built to the same standard as the research it draws on. It gives people language for how they think, relate, respond and grow, and it gives the professionals who support them a shared, evidence-traced starting point for that conversation.
Every score Lux produces comes from a versioned scoring pathway and computation checked against fixed reference outputs, all the way from raw response to finished report.
That is the discipline behind the insight: nothing Lux tells a person or an organisation is asserted further than the evidence allows, and the evidence itself is built to keep growing as more people take Lux.

Our programs, our board, our partners
Lux is our flagship program, but it sits inside a wider foundation with its own story, its own governance and a growing network of organisations and researchers who work with us. Learn about who we are and why we exist, or find out how to bring Lux into your organisation or research program.
