Benchmarks & Interpretation
Compare your processing speed scores against cohort averages to spot strengths or risks. Track both best-case and consistency metrics to ensure progress translates into competition.
Lifestyle Levers
Off-game habits move the needle. Start with these levers:
- Billable-hour fatigue
- Case complexity management
Training Playbook
Run focused BrainGames blocks 3-4 times per week. Pair drills with immediate application—scrims, study, or high-stakes work—to lock in gains.
- Rapid comparison and matching drills
- Speed reading with comprehension checks
Integration & Review
Review metrics weekly with teammates or coaches. Tag lifestyle variables (sleep, travel, caffeine) so you can correlate them with performance swings.
