Auditable guarantee with international DOI registration.
We do not sell decorative seals or self-declarations. Every accreditation rests on a published, citable and falsifiable framework.
Otiogenesis
The theoretical framework that gives scientific grounding to everything the confederation does. It integrates neuroscience, information physics and the contemplative tradition, with 95 verified convergences and 5 falsifiable hypotheses. It is registered with a permanent DOI on Zenodo (CERN) and on PhilPapers, so any researcher, regulator or journalist can cite and verify it.

That solidity lets your legal, marketing and sustainability teams communicate the accreditation with international peace of mind.

Vital Lucidity is the operational quality of a person’s coupling with their environment, expressed through five observable traits. The VLI is the composite score that measures them, each with a scientific instrument already validated in its own literature:
Coherence of attention
Capacity to sustain attention without involuntary mind-wandering. Instrument: MAAS scale (Brown & Ryan, 2003).
Affective regulation
Net-positive affective tone with context-appropriate responsiveness. Instruments: PANAS-X and frontal alpha asymmetry (Davidson).
Relational density
Being embedded in a real network of supportive ties. Instruments: UCLA Loneliness Scale (reverse-scored) and the Berkman-Syme social network index.
Coherent action
Sustained alignment between stated values, internal states and observable behaviour. Instrument: Self-Concordance Scale (Sheldon & Elliot, 1999).
Sense of coherence
The perception that life is comprehensible, manageable and meaningful. Instrument: Antonovsky’s SOC-13, the validated reference of the salutogenic model.
The VLI is computed as the average of standardized z-scores across the five subscales, normalized to a 0–100 range, and triangulated against objective biomarkers such as heart rate variability. Validation of the composite index is pre-registered in the framework’s research programme.
This is the report each organization receives after the audit: the overall VLI, its change against the baseline, the detail of the five dimensions and the score distribution of the ELV-15 Test.
How scores are distributed across staff or residents. The central band marks the majority group.
Aligned with the research frontier
The framework engages with the pioneering research from the University of Oxford on collective flourishing —ecological-collective-flourishing or e-co-flourishing—, published in The Lancet Planetary Health, which studies the mechanisms connecting human wellbeing with that of the ecosystems sustaining it.
Our methodological anchors rest on peer-reviewed literature and operate exclusively on prevention in healthy populations. They never replace medical diagnosis, treatment or follow-up.
The Human Flourishing Map
A conceptual framework that organizes everything that helps a person flourish, from health to business.
Flourishing, wellbeing, health and longevity are often used as if they meant the same thing. They don't, and that confusion makes it harder for those of us working in this field to cooperate.
At The Wellbeing Confederation we have developed the Human Flourishing Map using the framework of Harvard University's Human Flourishing Program as a reference. It keeps its six domains and extends them to every dimension in which a person can flourish: health and wellbeing, consciousness, relationships and community, business and institutions.
Each dimension is grounded in branches of knowledge, for training, and in practices and initiatives, for the prosperity of communities. Otiogenesis, our theoretical framework, is the thread that connects them.
TWC was born with the vocation of becoming an intergovernmental organization for human flourishing, understood as psychosocial wellbeing, preventive mental health and community resilience. We maintain this map and coordinate the universities, organizations, companies and territories that bring it to life.
Person
Health, mind, consciousness and character.
Relationships, community and territory
Bonds, community life, environment and nature.
Organizations and economy
Third sector, purpose-driven companies and impact economy.
System and institutions
Public policy, education, alliances and advocacy.
