The Data That Would Predict Your Relationship's Future Already Exists. Nobody's Reading It.
By Momar Lissa Ndiaye ("MLN"), Founder & CEO, weyoga Inc.
Ask anyone in a struggling relationship whether they could have predicted, a year earlier, roughly where things would end up, and many will say yes — in retrospect, the signs were there. This retrospective clarity is not hindsight bias alone. It's evidence that the predictive data genuinely existed in real time. It simply wasn't assembled into a form anyone could read while it still mattered.
The raw material for the prediction is ordinary: the small withdrawals, the repair attempts that worked or didn't, the specific conditions under which distance opened up between two people. None of this is hidden or subtle in isolation. What's missing isn't the data — it's the aggregation. No one is compiling the small moments into the larger trend line while they're still happening.
This is different from lacking self-awareness about any single moment. Two people can be fully aware of each individual instance and still have no aggregate view of the trend those instances form together, because forming that aggregate view requires holding many moments in relation to each other across time — a task human memory is notoriously bad at performing accurately.
The future of a relationship is rarely a mystery hiding somewhere unreachable. It's a trend line built from data that already exists, waiting for something to actually read it before the ending it predicts becomes the only story left to tell.
