# Cohort Study

> A global, standing panel of Gen Z interior life under mediation. Two instruments: CS-001 Moments (one row per lived moment: what took attention or asked for a decision, what was felt first, how fast it went, what decided it) and CS-002 The Barometer (a fixed monthly battery across activation, capture, mediation, norms drift and atomisation, from which the Cohort Index is built). Every row is published, CC BY 4.0. Principal investigator: Param Vaswani. A study of the Center for Applied Post-Phenomenology.
