Mapping Coercive Relationship Dynamics: A Criminological Approach

The Feminine Intelligence Agency (FIA) is a research lab and social impact organization dedicated to preventing psychological exploitation, coercive control, and relationship-based fraud. Our work sits at the intersection of technology, behavioral science, and public safety, with a focus on helping women recognize manipulation early and build the cognitive tools to resist it. FIA develops cutting-edge tools such as interactive chatbots, trait-based profiling systems, and peer-to-peer wellness platforms that teach emotional resilience, pattern recognition, and social discernment. Our frameworks are informed by neuroscience, criminology, and trauma theory—designed not just to identify harm after the fact, but to predict and prevent dangerous relational dynamics before they escalate. This project explores how psychological manipulation escalates into coercive control and, in severe cases, into criminal outcomes like domestic violence, fraud, or homicide. Using real-world case analysis, criminological theory, and publicly available datasets, students will build a knowledge model that identifies early warning signs (red flags) and how they interact with victim vulnerabilities to form dangerous relationship dynamics — what FIA terms a “lockmatch.” Key Research Objectives: Analyze 30 real-world cases of manipulative or coercive individuals. Identify patterns of abuse, brain bias exploitation, and victim vulnerabilities. Assess publicly available datasets to validate and expand early detection models. Prototype a "lockmatch quotient" to predict high-risk relationship patterns.

AI-Driven Research Think Tank Internship Proposal: Visioning the Future of Relationship Fraud Detection

The Feminine Intelligence Agency (FIA) has developed a research-backed web app called ChatBoy , designed to help users recognize and respond to manipulative communication. The app includes over 1,700 scenario-based questions and responses, each carefully crafted and approved by psychologists using a behavioral trait scoring system built over years of research. Right now, ChatBoy functions like a quiz—it’s effective, but static. This project invites a student to help us build the next-gen MVP by transforming those same questions and characters into interactive, personality-driven AI agents using generative AI tools. We’re not looking for a polished or commercial product—just something functional that demonstrates how ChatBoy could evolve. We’ll provide all the structured content: character personalities, speech patterns, and behavioral logic. Your job is to plug that into an AI architecture (like LangChain, GPT Agents, or something similar) to produce 16 dynamic character bots that users can talk to. You’ll take our data, add some flair, and create an MVP that shows what’s possible when real-world behavioral insights meet modern AI.

Digital Onboarding Experience for The Listening Lab

Design a prototype for The Listening Lab , a low-cost, decentralized, peer-to-peer wellness system designed for women. The Lab focuses on emotional regulation, communication, and nonjudgmental listening, particularly supporting neurodivergent, queer, and system-impacted individuals. Build a clear, accessible onboarding experience that prepares users for role-based group sessions, emphasizing safety, trust, and authentic connection. Develop user-centered flows for common and edge-case experiences—such as session disruptions or emotional distress—based on existing trauma-informed guidelines. Encourage creative, interdisciplinary thinking by engaging students in UX design, digital prototyping, public health awareness, and inclusive tech practices.

Regulatory Compliance Assessment for AI-Driven Wellness Tools

Organization Overview: Feminine Intelligence Agency (FIA) is a social technology organization designing tools that help women identify and navigate coercive control, emotional manipulation, and toxic relationship dynamics. We create educational, preventative, and behavior-monitoring tools based on years of research in emotional abuse, psychological manipulation, and neurodivergent vulnerability. We are currently developing three core products: ChatBoy App – A conversational simulator that helps users recognize manipulative patterns in romantic dialogue. Player Identifier Chatbot – An AI tool that analyzes partner behaviors using a 30-trait profiling system to flag manipulative patterns. Listening Lab – A decentralized, peer-to-peer group support system focused on emotional regulation and boundary repair. This is designed as a non-clinical, high-safety alternative to therapy that fosters social discernment. We are also exploring future wearable integrations for early detection of emotional dysregulation and risk signals (e.g., increased stress reactivity, behavioral rabbit holes, patterns of submission or freeze responses). Project Objective: FIA seeks Regulatory Affairs students to conduct a comprehensive compliance and ethics assessment of our digital tools and data practices. The goal is to ensure that our platform is both legally compliant and ethically sound as we scale into emotional wellness, AI-based coaching, and potentially biosignal-based wearables.
