PAXIVA™ Framework
A theory-informed framework for AI-mediated family conflict navigation
PAXIVA™ is a theory-informed conceptual framework developed by the Center for AI-Mediated Family Dispute Resolution and implemented within PeacePath Compass. It examines how AI-mediated tools may support communication scaffolding, documentation integrity, equitable system navigation, child-centered decision orientation, and user agency. It is a conceptual framework and research agenda for continued empirical examination, not an empirically validated intervention.
The six pillars of PAXIVA™
- P — Pattern Detection and Communication Interruption
- A — Adaptive Scaffolding Toward Communication Competence
- X — eXamination of Evidence Integrity
- I — Institutional Equity and Access Design
- V — Verified Child-Centered Outcome Orientation
- A — Agentic Behavioral Change Through AI Scaffolding
