Understand your face, and the reading of it
Mavqen measures things most people have never had named for them. These pages explain what each one is, how to get a reading that is actually about your face, and — just as plainly — where each measurement stops being reliable.

What the product does, and how to get a reading that is actually about your face.

Getting a reading you can trust
Almost every wrong score is a photo problem, not a maths problem. Thirty seconds of setup changes your result more than anything you can do afterwards.

How Sigil works
What actually happens between your two photos and a number — and which parts of that number are measured rather than judged.
Your score
The five pillars, one page each — what they read and what moves them.
Pillar
Harmony
Proportion — how the parts of your face relate to each other. The only pillar that is pure geometry, and the largest one.
Pillar
Features
Surface quality — skin, under-eye, brows, sclera, eyelids. The pillar that moves fastest, and the one worth acting on first.
Pillar
Appeal
The pillar nobody else scores: colouring, the impression your face makes on a stranger, and how far it sits from the ordinary.
Pillar
Dimorphism
How sex-typical your facial structure is — and why a high score here is not the same thing as a better face.
Pillar
Angularity
Definition — how sharply the underlying structure reads through the surface. The pillar most affected by things that are not your face.
The Appeal Report
Physiognomy, Archetype and Phenotype — the three reads nobody else scores, and the limits of each.
Appeal Report
Physiognomy
What a stranger's brain concludes about your face in the first second — measured honestly, and bounded honestly.
Appeal Report
Archetype
Which recognisable face-type yours reads closest to — matched on measurements, banded by age, and scored against nothing.
Appeal Report
Phenotype
Which documented facial types yours reads closest to. A similarity read — never a statement about your ancestry.
