Everyone has strengths. We help people find theirs.
Foundation Nova Diem works with people and those who support them to recognise strengths, start better support conversations and shape practical next steps.

A different starting point
Too many people are described by a diagnosis, a risk label or a threshold they do not meet. We exist to change that first conversation.
See what is possible, not only what is difficult.
Why we startedLux · our strengths-first assessment
Language for how you think, relate and grow.
Lux is a guided strengths assessment. Each person receives a personalised report, written for reflection and growth, so support can begin with what is strong. Lumen, our secure platform, keeps consent, governed scoring and reporting connected.
“You may notice patterns others miss and bring clarity when situations feel uncertain.”
These are computed fields, not 301 questions or 301 separately validated constructs. Participants receive a curated part of their profile. Authorised clinicians receive deeper decision support to use with history, context and their own judgement.
From reflection to better support
How Lux opens a better conversation.
Designed for reflection, consent and useful dialogue. Never for diagnosis or judgement.
Invitation
A trusted organisation invites someone to take part.
Choice
They decide on their own terms, with informed consent.
Reflection
Lux helps them explore how they think, relate and grow.
Insight
They receive language for their own strengths and patterns.
Conversation
Support can begin from what is possible.
A participant perspective
“I don’t know how this knew so much about me, even things my best friend doesn’t know.”
Responsible by design
Ambitious about people. Honest about proof.
Documented internal consistency of the full ten-item Big Five item banks, in a 603,322-response source and reference dataset.
This is reference evidence. It is not a count of Lux participants and not proof that every Lux output is valid. Lux is descriptive. It is not diagnostic, predictive or used for personnel selection.
Evidence-led
We say what the current evidence supports, and make the limits plain.
People-first
Lux is designed for reflection and conversation, not diagnosis or selection.
Accountable
Australian registered charity, DGR endorsed, with public annual reports and named governance.
