The Methodology

Decoding the
Executive Mind.

Chess is the only environment where every decision is recorded, timed, and objectively graded. We use this data to map your psychological architecture.

The Vantage Algorithm

Every simulation is analyzed by Stockfish 16 (the world's strongest engine). We don't just look at whether you won or lost. We look at the delta between your move and the optimal move.

  • 01

    Time-Pressure Variance

    We measure the standard deviation of your accuracy when the clock drops below 30 seconds. This calculates your Panic Threshold.

  • 02

    Centipawn Loss (Risk)

    We track how often you complicate a stable position. High complexity + high accuracy = Calculated Aggressor. High complexity + low accuracy = Gambler.

  • 03

    Recovery Rate

    After a blunder (a significant error), does your next move's accuracy improve or degrade? This measures Emotional Resilience.

Inside the Dossier

The 5 distinct layers of the Executive Analysis.

🧠

Page 1: The Profile

Your primary Archetype (e.g., "The Pragmatic Steward"). A high-level summary of your decision-making style.

📉

Page 2: Psychometrics

The deep dive. Volatility Index, Material Attachment, and Panic Scores plotted on a graph.

👁️

Page 3: Bias Detection

We identify if you suffer from common cognitive biases like Optimism Bias or Sunk Cost Fallacy.

"But I'm not good at chess."

That is irrelevant.

We do not test your chess skill; we test your reaction to entropy. Our algorithm normalizes for skill level. A novice who stays calm is rated higher on "Composure" than a Grandmaster who tilts after a mistake.
