Manipulation Tactics Identifier
If something feels wrong but you can’t name it, this tool helps. Answer a short series of questions about a specific situation or interaction, and we’ll identify the most likely manipulation technique being used — with a clinical name, behavioral markers, and what it tends to look like in real life.
Nothing leaves your device. This tool runs entirely in your browser. No answers, no IPs, no analytics on your responses. You can close the tab and your session disappears. Naming what’s happening to you is the first step to regaining clarity.
Editorial note: This tool is informational only. It is not a clinical diagnosis, legal evidence, or substitute for therapy. Manipulation patterns often overlap; a real situation may involve several tactics at once. If you are uncertain about your safety, prioritise that above naming the behaviour.
