Choose session length
You do not have to do the full circuit every time. A short completed run is better than skipping the habit completely.
How scoring works for a Standard Run
A Standard Run can earn up to 1,500 points. The score rewards completion, station results, reflection clarity, and finishing the selected run. Pace points only unlock after all required stations are finished, and suspiciously fast runs do not receive a pace bonus.
- Completion
- up to 500 points
- Pace
- up to 200 points
- Station results
- up to 500 points
- Reflection clarity
- up to 200 points
- Full-run bonus
- up to 100 points
Your score is not a medical, psychological, or educational measurement. A lower score may reflect fatigue, stress, distraction, unfamiliarity, or rushing.

Do one station, score it, then the runner moves to the next station.

What Cognitive Boost can and cannot do
Cognitive Boost scores are personal practice markers, not medical, psychological, educational, or diagnostic measurements.
Money Clarity is for applied numeracy practice. It is not financial, tax, investment, accounting, or business advice.
Cognitive Boost can help you practice attention, recall, estimation, planning, and reflection in short sessions.
It cannot diagnose memory problems, ADHD, dementia, anxiety, depression, learning disorders, or cognitive decline. A bad score may reflect fatigue, stress, distraction, unfamiliarity, or rushing. A good score does not prove that everything is fine.
Stop a session if it makes you anxious, frustrated, dizzy, visually strained, or more fatigued. If memory, attention, directions, money management, medication routines, work steps, or daily tasks are changing in real life, talk with a qualified health professional instead of using games to self-test.
Frequently asked questions
› Is this circuit a test?
No. It is a short practice routine. Scores are meant to help you notice patterns, not diagnose ability.
› How often should I repeat this circuit?
Most users should repeat a circuit 1-3 times per week or rotate through the weekly plan.
› What should I do if I get a low score?
Treat it as information. Fatigue, stress, rushing, distractions, and unfamiliar tasks can lower a score.
› Should I do the Light, Standard, or Deep Run?
Use Light when you are tired, Standard for daily practice, and Deep when you want a longer challenge.
› Is this financial advice?
No. This circuit is applied numeracy practice. Use it to find assumptions and questions before making money decisions.
