Proof posture

What we claim, what we measure, what is still being tested.

This page sets out what IQMindware aims to improve, how we measure progress, what evidence we currently publish, and where the limits still are. Our goal is real life transfer beyond a single game or task, but we present that as something to test and track, not promise.

Transfer definition

What we mean by transfer

Transfer means your progress carries over when the task changes, not just when you repeat the same game.

Not just getting better at one task

Doing better on one repeated exercise is not enough. What matters is whether the underlying skill still holds up when the format changes.

Tested under new conditions

We check this by changing the way the task looks or works, so we can see whether the improvement is real and flexible rather than tied to one familiar format.

Checked again later

We also measure progress before, after, and again later on, to see whether the improvement still appears beyond the immediate training session.

Proof overview

The public evidence surfaces

The page separates claim boundaries, current protocol documents, measure status, and data cadence so maturity and caveats are visible.

Claims ladder

What IQMindware can say, what it cannot say, and which claim verbs are acceptable.

Protocol documents

Current protocol drafts for readiness gating, progression, transfer, and validation.

Measure registry

What each outcome marker is for, its current status, and the caveat attached to it.

Data cadence

How aggregated summaries are updated, with no raw personal logs published.

Claims ladder

What we can and cannot claim

The public proof posture uses disciplined verbs. Transfer is tested and tracked, not guaranteed.

Allowed claims
  • Designed to train general intelligence capacity and cognitive resilience.
  • Aims to test carry-over under changed conditions.
  • We test transfer with wrapper swaps, boundary/trap probes, and delayed re-checks.
  • We track trends and publish aggregated summaries with caveats.
Not allowed
  • Proves far transfer.
  • Guaranteed far transfer or guaranteed outcomes.
  • Clinically proven language.
  • Increases IQ as a guaranteed or universal claim.
  • Diagnosis, treatment, or cure framing.
Boundary: IQMindware products are performance and self-regulation tools. They are not medical devices and not intended for diagnosis or treatment. Outcomes vary.
Measure registry

What we measure

Measures are not all treated as equally mature. Each has a status and a caveat.

SgS-12 A/B Published summary

Brief fluid reasoning snapshot.

A short baseline/post reasoning check for practical trend interpretation.

Caveat: brief form for tracking, not high-stakes diagnostic use.

Psi-CBS In testing

Applied cognitive bandwidth.

Self-report marker for applied cognition patterns in daily contexts.

Caveat: validation remains in testing; interpret as a practical tracking signal.

MFT-m / CCC Measured in app

Cognitive control capacity in bits/second.

Measured by the Multiple Function Task (masked), or MFT-m, as a behavioural throughput signal for route setting.

Caveat: practical readiness and dose signal, not an IQ score or diagnostic measure.

Evidence by layer

How each layer connects to far transfer

Each layer has a different proof job: route the session, vary the surface, increase reasoning demand, or measure whether progress carries beyond training.

Capacity Gym / N-back progression

Adaptive working-memory and attention training with wrapper swaps to reduce one-game dependence.

Data cadence

Data summaries and publication cadence

Data publication is aggregated and caveated. Personal raw logs are not published.

🔒 Data publication policy
What is published
Aggregated metrics and summary tables only. No raw personal logs.
Privacy stance
No personal data exposure in published evidence summaries.
Update cadence
Aggregated evidence summaries are updated on the published cadence.
Personal export
User-controlled export via app controls (local-first trail export).
📅 Publication cadence
Exploratory boundary

What remains exploratory

The proof posture is deliberately bounded. Evidence status and caveats matter.

Far transfer is tested and tracked, not guaranteed.
Some measures are in active validation.
Self-report measures have context effects.
Short tests are practical tracking snapshots, not diagnostic or high-stakes instruments.
Individual outcomes vary.
