Want to know if something is ADHD friendly? (Patreon)

Hello Brains! We've got a video coming out tomorrow defining "ADHD friendly" and this is a rubric we're developing to help people evaluate the products & services they use BEFORE they buy them.
Everyone spends resources (time, money, energy, etc.) on products or services that don’t work out the way they had hoped. But those of us with ADHD do that a LOT.
Partly because we’re trying to manage our ADHD challenges -- and many products make shiny promises to help us do that -- and partly because our ADHD challenges get in the way.
This tool is meant to help those of us with ADHD and other executive function challenges make better decisions about which products, tools, and services to invest our resources in.
How?
By educating our gut.
At the end of the day, there are too many factors involved to create a perfect formula of whether or not something will work for those of us with ADHD. What works for one person may not work for another. So our instincts on whether or not something is worth trying, our gut reaction, is often our best guide.
It helps if those instincts are informed by research. So we did some research for you! And created this checklist to go through and help your gut decide if something is worth trying.
Disclaimer
This is only a beta test and our very first version. This is NOT the full test. New sections will be added that will give you a more in-depth view of the product or service you're reviewing. We have decided to release and test it one small section at a time so we can improve as we go. Please keep that in mind as you run through the beta version.
There will be a short, optional feedback section at the end to help us improve this assessment even further. Let us know what you think!
