COGNITIVE ASSESSMENT PLATFORM
R&D · PRIORITY TECHNOLOGY-SCIENCE PRODUCT

1 · The problem

A score doesn’t tell the whole story of a performance. Classic instruments reduce performance to a final value, losing how the response builds over time: speed, accuracy, variability, session quality, technical context.

2 · What exists today

A modular platform in development, with web architecture and internationalisation. Under construction: digital cognitive tasks; time-based response recording; session-quality data; full traceability.

3 · How it works

The participant completes cognitive tasks in a web interface; the platform records response times, accuracy and session metrics, with traceability for every generated datum.

4 · Evidence of maturity

Binding rule: functional software does NOT mean a clinically validated instrument. Strict separation: technical development → pilots → usability → scientific validation (a future, unfinished step) → future application. Any validity claim will state conditions, sample and criteria.

5 · R&D component

Time-based metrics and intra-individual variability as objects of study; session quality as a methodological covariate; modular architecture for new task domains; internationalisation as a method requirement.

6 · Technology

Modular web architecture; traceable time-based data; the principle “software as part of the scientific method” — identified, documented, tested, verifiable.

7 · Next challenge

A declared pilot protocol: question, pre-defined criteria, documented conditions and a real possibility of failure.
