Alchemy Path™ - Transmuting Everyday Lives and Communities
Empowering people to take control of their personal development.
The ALIE-N Life Assessment™ captures 200 precise data points across your life, delivering a clear, structured understanding of where you stand.
ALIE-N is an acronym for Assets, Liabilities, Income, Expenses and Net, which form the key components of an accounting framework and the basis of the assessment tool.
Combined with professional support, it translates this insight into targeted, practical actions - helping you create meaningful, measurable transformation.
Alchemy Path - Our Purpose
Alchemy Path™ exists to create meaningful, measurable change - for individuals and for communities.
At an individual level, we help people understand where they truly stand in life and what to do next. Through the ALIE-N Life Assessment™, participants respond to 200 targeted statements across ten life domains - generating a clear, data-driven picture of their strengths, challenges, and opportunities for growth. Repeating the assessment over time allows progress to be tracked and transformation to be measured.
At a community level, we turn insight into impact. By analysing de-identified, aggregated data, we identify patterns and emerging needs across different groups - by age, gender, and location. This enables more strategic, targeted responses, and importantly, allows us to measure whether interventions are actually improving lives over time.
It All Started with Two Questions...
My name is Keegan Hayden, founder of Alchemy Path - and this began with a simple frustration.
I’ve worked in mental health, and I’ve also lived with mental illness. And one thing never quite sat right with me.
Most assessments focus on what’s wrong with you - your symptoms, your deficits, your struggles. And if you don’t have many of those… you’re considered “fine.”
But “fine” isn’t the same as truly living.
I started asking a different question: What if we measured what’s going right in someone’s life - and helped them build more of it?
Back in August 2017 I was searching for a way to improve my life.
I wanted a system that could clearly answer: How am I going in life? And how can I improve it?
More than that, I wanted a way to measure it - to know where I was starting, and whether I was actually getting better.
Then it clicked.
What if you could break life into key areas and score each one using an accounting framework? And then repeat the assessment over time to see how your life is changing.
No guessing. Just clarity.
That idea became the foundation of what is now the ALIE-N Life Assessment™.
Using ALIE-N, I’ve experienced a profound shift across every area of my life. I’ve lost 40kg and now prioritise my health, while my relationships have evolved from messy to deeply connected with family and friends. I’ve gained clarity and control over my finances, removing ongoing money uncertainty. Most importantly, I now live with minimal stress and a clear sense of direction, consistently moving toward my goals.

Frequently Asked Questions
Alchemy Path focuses on improving lives at both an individual and community level. It combines structured insight, practical action, and data to help people grow - and to help communities respond more effectively to real needs.
The purpose is twofold:
Individually - to help people understand where they are in life and take clear, meaningful steps forward
Collectively - to identify patterns across communities and drive targeted, measurable improvements
It’s about moving from problem to clarity - and from intention to real outcomes.
The ALIE-N Life Assessment™ is the first project of Alchemy Path.
It measures your life across 10 domains using an accounting framework; an acronym for Assets, Liabilities, Income, Expenses, and Net.
With 200 metrics, it creates a detailed, structured picture of how you're going - and where to focus to improve.
Most assessments focus on problems or symptoms.
ALIE-N goes further by:
Measuring both strengths and challenges
Linking insights to specific actions
Providing depth (200 metrics) rather than vague results
Enabling progress tracking over time
It’s designed not just to understand your life - but to improve it.
Results highlight specific areas for improvement at a detailed level.
Each insight can be paired with targeted resources, strategies, and support - allowing change to be practical, personalised, and measurable.
Individual data is kept private and secure.
When data is used at a broader level, it is de-identified and aggregated - meaning no personal information is attached. This allows patterns to be understood without compromising privacy.
By analysing aggregated data, Alchemy Path™ can identify trends and needs across different groups - by age, location, or background.
This enables:
More targeted programs
Better allocation of resources
Measurable evaluation of what actually works
Over time, we can respond to real needs with targeted action and get measurable outcomes.
Alchemy Path is just getting started.
As the data grows, it will power a new series of community initiatives, including:
Targeted wellbeing programs designed around real, identified needs
Local community projects that respond to specific gaps in areas like mental health, connection, and purpose
Digital tools and platforms
Partnerships with organisations and service providers to improve outcomes using real data
New businesses and services built directly from identified community needs
The vision is simple but ambitious: Use real data to build better lives - and better communities that support them.
