The Thesis

They already said it.

“If you’re a really good gamer, you’re going to be really good at this.”
Amjad Masad · CEO, Replit
“Entrepreneurship and business is the ultimate game.”
Brian Armstrong · CEO, Coinbase
“I learned more about building businesses from playing Starcraft than from business books.”
Tobias Lütke · CEO, Shopify
“Generally you want education to be as close to a video game as possible.”
Elon Musk · CEO, Tesla

They’re describing the same insight: the cognitive skills that make great gamers — pattern recognition, resource allocation, strategic thinking under pressure — are the same skills that make great professionals. We measure them.

The 7 Dimensions
What we measure. And how.

Each simulation tests multiple dimensions simultaneously. 3–5 simulations give a complete cognitive profile.

D1 · Analytical Reasoning
Break apart complex systems
Force Field, Algebra Lab, Optics Bench — isolate variables, test hypotheses, model cause and effect.
D2 · Quantitative Modeling
Think in numbers under pressure
StatSphere, GraphVerse, Climate Engine — interpret data, build models, predict outcomes from incomplete information.
D3 · Verbal Communication
Explain and persuade
WriteCraft, History Sim — construct arguments, synthesize sources, communicate decisions under time pressure.
D4 · Spatial Thinking
Reason in three dimensions
Orbit Lab, GeoForge, Body Atlas — navigate 3D environments, predict trajectories, understand structural relationships.
D5 · Inference & Deduction
Reason from incomplete evidence
Circuit Mind, Neural Path, Geo Proof — trace logic chains, identify contradictions, build proofs under ambiguity.
D6 · Social & Collaborative
Decide under human complexity
Business Case, Clinical Sim, Cyber Sim — manage stakeholders, triage competing priorities, navigate consequence.
D7 · Operational Execution
Build, debug, iterate fast
Reaction Lab, Build Lab, CodeCraft — prototype rapidly, diagnose failures, optimize under resource constraints.

Who It’s For
Three audiences. One assessment.

The same 30 minutes produce different value for different people.

Hiring Managers
Stop guessing. Start measuring.
Certifications test knowledge recall. This tests whether someone can think through a problem they’ve never seen before. 30 minutes. 7 dimensions. Compare candidates to your existing team.
VCs & Board Members
Quantify founder cognitive profile.
Evaluate founder cognitive profile before investing. Pattern recognition, resource management, strategic thinking — quantified, not guessed.
L&D Leaders
Measure potential, not just skills.
Measure cognitive potential, not just current skills. Identify who has the capacity to grow into the next role. Predict training ROI before spending.
◆
How It Works
Five steps. Thirty minutes.
1
Choose context
Hiring, development, or self-assessment. The engine adapts scoring to your goal.
2
Play 3–5 sims
30 minutes total. The engine selects simulations that maximize dimensional coverage.
3
Multi-dimensional
Each simulation measures multiple dimensions simultaneously. No wasted time.
4
Get your profile
7-dimension cognitive profile with confidence intervals. Shareable and verifiable.
5
Compare
Against role benchmarks, your team, or a candidate pool. Actionable, not decorative.
◆
The Simulations
Not quizzes. Cockpit simulations.

Six representative modes from the full library of 29. Each tests multiple dimensions in a single session.

Physics
Force Field
Analytical reasoning — isolate variables, predict outcomes, test hypotheses in a dynamic force environment.
Strategy
Business Case
Resource management — allocate budget, manage stakeholders, navigate trade-offs with incomplete data.
Incident Response
Cyber Sim
Pattern recognition under pressure — detect anomalies, triage threats, contain incidents in real time.
Healthcare
Clinical Sim
Decision-making under uncertainty — triage patients, weigh risk, act on ambiguous symptoms.
Mathematics
Algebra Lab
Quantitative reasoning — manipulate equations, model relationships, solve under constraints.
Humanities
History Sim
Consequence evaluation — make decisions with cascading effects, weigh tradeoffs across time horizons.
