The Zander Scale
In MemoryNamed for Zander Smith, who met every day with five-star effort, five-star heart, and five-star courage.
Look at the scale below — dark on the left, gold on the right.
Zander lived on the right side of that scale — not because life handed it to him, but because he decided it would be that way. He was just twenty years old.
He had a girlfriend, a future he was actively building alongside his father, and a love for AI that told you everything about the kind of mind he had: forward-facing, future-focused, five stars. No matter what came at him, his needle pointed gold.
This scale carries his name because it does what he did — it holds the full range of human experience, from the hardest moment to the most exceptional, and trusts you to tell the truth about where you land.
Rate what you lived. One honest voice moves the needle for the next person. Zander would have understood that. He was, by every measure that counted, a five-star human being — a young man who left us far too soon.
One man, one tiny [in]action--saved the world. Stanislav Petrov (1983). Any single patient could be the next Petrov.
