UAP-CTI

Contact Transformation Index

12 life-change domains measuring aftereffects of UAP contact. Score range 0–60. 8 domains shared with NDE-TI for direct cross-domain comparison.

Purpose

The CTI answers: "How did it change you?"— not "is it true?" (ESS) or "what happened?" (CDS). It measures attributed transformation across 12 life domains.

Destruction is transformation. UAP contact frequently produces negative outcomes — PTSD, relationship destruction, career loss. A complete psychological breakdown represents a Profound Transformation (4–5, direction = down). The scale measures change, not improvement.

Per-Domain Scoring (0–5)

Not Addressed — This area of transformation is not discussed in the account

Briefly Noted — A passing mention or slight implication of change

Mild Change — A noticeable shift is described, with limited detail

Moderate Change — A clear, meaningful transformation described with specific examples

Significant Change — A major, life-altering transformation described in detail

Profound Transformation — A dramatic, fundamental change; central to the account

Adapted — comparisons carry caveats

Existential Orientation

Changes in relationship with mortality, existential anxiety, belief in continuity of consciousness

NDE-TI equivalent: Attitude Toward Death (AD)

Adapted — comparisons carry caveats

UAP-Specific Domains

2 domains unique to UAP contact. No NDE-TI equivalent. NOT included in the Comparable Score.

Disclosure & Advocacy

Compulsion to share publicly, activism, whistleblowing, felt duty to inform others or contribute to disclosure

UAP-specific — no NDE equivalent

Electromagnetic & Somatic Sensitivity

New sensitivity to electronics, EM fields, watches stopping, health changes, energy sensations, healing abilities

UAP-specific — no NDE equivalent

Comparable Score (0–50): Uses only the 10 mappable domains for direct comparison with NDE-TI. Same thresholds apply.

Limitations

Aftereffect reporting bias: Videos often focus on the encounter itself. Low/zero scores mean transformation wasn't discussed, not that it didn't occur.

Self-attribution bias: Witnesses may attribute life changes to the UAP experience that would have occurred anyway. The scale measures attributed transformation, not verified causation.

Negativity gap: Positive transformations are more socially rewarded and more likely to be described. Negative outcomes may be underreported.
