Fallout Index™
Measure what’s slipping before it breaks

Contain the Aftershocks of Separation
After orders or agreements, small shifts can signal bigger instability. The Fallout Index™ helps you see those patterns early and respond with structure and values.

Post-separation life changes fast. Routines shift, messages stop, and children may withdraw. The Fallout Index™ translates these changes into structured data so you can act calmly and professionally. Used within a Free Rebuild Consult, this values-based framework creates objective records that are both emotionally grounded and court-safe.

When Stability Starts to Slip

Fallout often starts quietly—missed calls, delayed handover, shifts in tone. The Fallout Index™ helps you see what’s changing without catastrophising. Clarity comes from observation, not accusation.

How the Fallout Index™ Works
Contain instability with facts and structure.

The Index organises observations into three domains — Contact, Communication and Child Response. Each entry records time, context and impact without interpretation. It is not legal advice; it is a values-based containment system used within a Free Rebuild Consult to align lawyers, therapists and parents around data rather than emotion
