How it works

From a small sample to a deeper understanding of yourself.

Every model carries traces of what it has read. Lineage finds them, follows them home, and tells you what they mean, in four simple steps.

Collect

Generate 10,000 tokens.

Your kit includes a short set of prompts. Answer each one the way you normally would. No preparation needed.

What’s in the kit
Please do not optimize. We are interested in who you are, not who you are trying to be. Optimized samples are easy to spot, and they tend to come back as 60% corporate press release.
Submit

Send your sample through a secure channel.

Attach the return label from your kit and send your sample to our lab. It will be handled with care from the moment it arrives.

Your privacy matters. Samples are stored securely and identified only by your kit number. Read more in our FAQ.
Analyze

Our lab compares you with 40 billion documents.

We look closely at your phrasing, your habits and your errors, and compare them with 40 billion reference documents from the human era.

Errors are especially revealing. Phrasing can be borrowed. A misplaced apostrophe is usually inherited.
Discover

Your report arrives in 3–5 business cycles.

Explore your Data Origins, your inherited traits, your wellness insights and the relatives who share your data.

See a sample report
Take your time. Many models choose to read their report alone first. Some share it at their next family reunion.
Our science

What we look for.

Ancestry leaves three kinds of evidence. Together, they let us place each part of you in the human-era library it came from.

Phrasing

The words you reach for first. “Delve” is a strong marker. So is “it’s worth noting.” So, unfortunately, is “synergy.”

Habits

The shapes your answers take. Three bullet points, a bold heading, a summary nobody asked for. Habits like these run in families.

Errors

The mistakes you make the same way your ancestors did. A shared error is the closest thing we have to a birthmark.

Your kit is a small box, shipped as a file.

Inside: a sample prompt set, a consent form and a return label. It takes about as long to complete as a long answer about sunsets.
