Foundation Nova Diem
We build tools that help people understand themselves.
We don't just identify potential, we unlock it.
Foundation Nova Diem helps people and the professionals supporting them see more than deficits. Lux is our strengths-first assessment; Lumen is the secure platform built to administer it.
How the work connects
Foundation, assessment, platform
Foundation Nova Diem is the organisation behind Lux and Lumen. Lux is a strengths-first, descriptive psychological assessment. Lumen is the secure platform built to administer Lux.
Lux turns responses into a governed profile. Participants receive a carefully curated subset for reflection and growth; authorised clinicians can receive deeper technical decision support alongside their own professional judgement.

Lux
Descriptive insight, not a label
Lux produces 301 defined participant-level fields across 19 layers. These are computed fields, not 301 questions or 301 separately validated constructs.
Lux is designed to help people understand strengths, patterns and potential. It is not diagnostic, predictive or used for personnel selection.

Clear about the starting point and how evidence develops
The full ten-item Big Five item banks have documented internal consistency of α .800–.898 in a 603,322-response source/reference dataset. This is source/reference internal-consistency evidence, not a count of Lux participants and not proof that every Lux output is valid.
Lux is moving through an active, staged evidence-development programme. We publish what current evidence supports, state the limits, and strengthen claims only when pre-defined studies produce supporting results.
