Wellness Impact Score (WIS)

The Wellness Impact Score (WIS) aims to quantify a person’s or entity’s impact on the well-being of humans, animals, and the planet. This scale ranges from -10 to +10, assessing the severity and widespread nature of an individual’s or organization’s actions.

-10 to -7: Severe Harm (Death, Destruction, and Suffering)

• -10: Causes extreme destruction or widespread death, such as large-scale environmental disasters, war crimes, or exploitation leading to mass suffering (e.g., genocidal dictators, polluting industries).

• -9 to -8: Significant damage or harm, such as causing environmental collapse or human trafficking, creating widespread misery, death, or devastation.

• -7: Severe harm, affecting multiple beings or ecosystems, possibly intentional or through severe negligence (e.g., corporate negligence leading to health crises or environmental degradation).

-6 to -4: Moderate Harm (Neglect or Exploitation)

• -6: Harmful exploitation of resources, people, or animals, causing moderate but widespread negative effects (e.g., exploitative labor practices or environmentally harmful industries).

• -5: Negative impact that affects large groups, but not as severe as death or destruction (e.g., financial exploitation, misleading products or practices that cause harm to health or well-being).

• -4: Causes harm to a smaller community or environment, perhaps unintentionally but with clear negative effects (e.g., local pollution, harmful products).

-3 to -1: Minor Harm (Neglect, Self-Interest)

• -3: Minor harm caused to small groups or localized environments, possibly through carelessness or indifference (e.g., small-scale pollution, minor unethical practices).

• -2: Negative actions that may cause discomfort or minor harm to individuals or ecosystems (e.g., unethical consumption choices, minor neglect).

• -1: Small-scale or isolated negative impact, but not widespread or severely damaging (e.g., failing to recycle, minor instances of selfish behavior).

0: Neutral Impact

• 0: Actions that have no significant positive or negative impact on the well-being of others or the environment (e.g., living without causing harm or notable benefit).

+1 to +3: Minor Positive Impact (Local Help)

• +1: Small-scale positive actions that help individuals or the environment in minor ways (e.g., helping neighbors, small charitable donations).

• +2: Moderately positive impact, benefitting small groups or communities through positive actions (e.g., volunteering, community projects).

• +3: Positive actions that create a noticeable benefit to the well-being of a local community or environment (e.g., sustainable farming, local charity work).

+4 to +6: Moderate Positive Impact (Broader Help)

• +4: Positive impact on larger groups or systems (e.g., running ethical businesses that benefit communities, creating products that improve well-being).

• +5: Significantly helps communities or ecosystems through widespread beneficial actions (e.g., leading major charitable organizations or creating large-scale sustainable projects).

• +6: Moderately broad but significant improvements in human or environmental well-being (e.g., healthcare innovations, systems improving quality of life).

+7 to +9: High Positive Impact (Widespread Help)

• +7: Large-scale positive impact, benefitting many through significant, far-reaching actions (e.g., advancing environmental sustainability, developing major social programs for the disadvantaged).

• +8: Widespread positive influence, benefitting whole nations or large ecosystems (e.g., global health initiatives, solving systemic issues).

• +9: Major positive impact, creating lasting, global well-being improvements (e.g., major social justice movements, technological breakthroughs that benefit humanity).

+10: Extreme Positive Impact (Transformational, Global Healing)

• +10: Transforms the lives of millions or improves the health of entire ecosystems. This level of impact leads to a global shift toward Higher Consciousness, compassion, and sustainability (e.g., eradicating poverty, solving global climate crises, leading humanity toward a more compassionate future).

Conclusion

The Wellness Impact Score (WIS) provides a comprehensive measure of an individual's or entity's overall impact on well-being, from -10 (severe harm and destruction) to +10 (exceptional benefit and healing). It evaluates not just the severity of the action, but also the breadth of its influence on humans, animals, and the planet. By combining the magnitude of positive or negative effects with their reach, WIS highlights those whose actions contribute to overall wellness, helping guide individuals and societies toward higher consciousness and sustainable growth.
