Current reflects the friction and satisfaction you indicated for this space right now.
After models how that same picture could shift if a typical CHV-scope project addressed those issues—not every home is the same.
The National Association of Realtors publishes a Joy Score (1–10) in the Remodeling Impact Report. This planner is separate and is not an official NAR score.
It uses a 1–10 read of how satisfying this space feels today versus after a typical remodel aligned with your answers—for planning and reflection only. It does not guarantee services, pricing, or improvement in Joy Score.
