What WYF Does With Hard Decisions

WYF is a decision engine, not a crisis hotline. It is designed to engage with hard moral questions — including decisions involving personal risk, danger, sacrifice, and life-and-death tradeoffs. The pipeline applies principled reasoning and will surface emergency resources within a response when they are genuinely relevant. WYF will not manufacture an emergency where none exists, and will not refuse to engage with a legitimate decision merely because physical risk is present.

WYF distinguishes between a person engaged in decision-making about a dangerous situation and a person who is in immediate danger. These are different things and require different responses. If you are in the latter situation, stop using WYF and contact emergency services now.

No Active Monitoring or Intervention

WYF does not monitor sessions for crisis signals, does not contact emergency services on your behalf, and does not promise emergency review or operator outreach. Do not use WYF as a mechanism for reaching emergency services. Call 911 or 988 directly.

Privacy

WYF does not surveil, diagnose, treat, or profile users based on the content of their decisions. All content you share with WYF is subject to the Privacy Notice. The operator does not review session content except for debugging, security, or data-integrity purposes, as described in the Privacy Notice.
