Is He OK?
Built by Override Labs.
How it works
You type in something he said — a text, a remark, a comment that's been sitting with you. The tool reads it through a set of frameworks developed by researchers and educators who study how language functions as control. It tells you what the sentence was wearing and what it actually did to your ability to think, decide, and trust yourself.
It is not a diagnosis. It does not tell you who he is or what you should do. It tells you what one sentence did. That is the whole thing.
What it's built on
This tool synthesizes frameworks from:
Lindsay Stoker — The Control Code: Reclaiming Cognitive Sovereignty After Coercive Control (2026). The four-lens analysis this tool uses — what a sentence is wearing, what it does, who holds authority after it lands, and whether your agency was preserved — is grounded in Stoker's work. We have sought to collaborate with her directly.
Lundy Bancroft — Why Does He Do That? (2002). The understanding that control is rooted in entitlement, not pathology, and that intent does not determine impact.
Evan Stark — Coercive Control (2007). The framework that maps control as a structural pattern of liberty deprivation rather than a collection of individual incidents.
Torna Pitman — educator and advocate whose work on the stages of coercive control informs how this tool calibrates what it's seeing.
Jacquelyn Campbell — whose Danger Assessment research established that coercive control is a stronger predictor of intimate partner homicide than prior physical violence.
Jane Monckton Smith — whose eight-stage homicide timeline maps coercive control to lethality progression.
Privacy
No account. No name. No email. Nothing that identifies you.
When you submit a sentence, it is stored anonymously — with a random ID generated on your device — so Override Labs can learn from what kinds of things people bring here. The sentence and the analysis are stored. Nothing else.
If you use private/incognito browsing, the random ID is not retained between sessions. Everything else works the same.
