MindShot · FAQ
Questions about the ritual, scoring and privacy.
The answers here are written for people, search engines and LLMs. They stay careful about what MindShot is and what it is not.
What is MindShot?
MindShot is a 3-minute cognitive ritual for professionals. It is a short, repeatable ritual built around Wake-Up, Focus and Judgment.
Is MindShot a quiz?
It has questions, but it is not meant to feel like a generic quiz. The structure is a ritual with a purpose: activation, attention and judgment.
Is MindShot brain training?
No. MindShot is evidence-informed, not clinically proven, and it does not claim to improve intelligence or deliver medical benefit.
How is my MindShot score calculated?
MindShot scores the Daily Three out of 100. Wake-Up and Focus carry 30 points each, and Judgment carries 40 by default. Correct graded answers earn the slot’s points. Each graded question has a target time, so slow correct answers can lose some points. Faster answers do not get a bonus. Reflection and self-check prompts are completion-scored. The final score is rounded to a whole number and kept between 0 and 100. It is a daily ritual signal, not an intelligence test or diagnostic score.
What are Wake-Up, Focus and Judgment?
Wake-Up uses fast activation tasks such as arithmetic, pattern recognition and estimation. Focus uses attention and working-memory tasks such as sequencing, analogy and logic. Judgment uses executive-thinking prompts such as prioritisation, decision-making and bias recognition.
Why does timing affect the score?
Timing is part of the ritual. MindShot uses tempo-aware scoring so the score reflects both correctness and how the shot was taken. It is a product mechanic, not a cognitive diagnosis.
Do I need an account?
No login is required for the public ritual.
What data does MindShot collect?
MindShot collects privacy-safe aggregate analytics such as sessions, actions, approximate geography and sponsor delivery timing. It does not collect raw answers, IP addresses, GPS coordinates, postal codes or user-agent strings for reporting.
Do sponsors receive personal data?
No. Sponsors receive aggregate reporting only. They do not get personal user data, raw answers or individual-level tracking.
How does sponsorship work?
A sponsor moment appears before the ritual. Sponsor delivery is measured with aggregate analytics, including sponsor shown sessions, sponsor completed sessions and sponsor visible duration.
Can advertisers see individual users?
No. Reporting is aggregate-only, so advertisers see sessions, actions, markets and timing summaries, not individual people.
How is sponsor visible duration measured?
Sponsor visible duration is measured from Sponsor Moment shown to Sponsor Moment completed. It is expected to align with the configured sponsor display duration.
