How this works
01 / Somatic intelligence
Your body knows first

Research shows the subconscious processes up to 11 million bits per second — vastly more than conscious reasoning. Your body signals encode that data.

02 / Weighted scoring
5 axes, not just a coin flip

Somatic signal, inner clarity, logical case, future regret, and risk tolerance are each weighted by their predictive value in decision outcomes research.

03 / Confidence rating
Strength of signal matters

A 70/30 split is a clear signal. A 52/48 split means you need more information. The confidence score tells you how much to act on the result.
