The gap in your program

YOU MEASURE EVERYTHING EXCEPT THE THING THAT WINS GAMES

You know their 40 time, their vertical, their max squat. You have hours of film and a wall of analytics. But when a point guard makes the wrong read in transition, or a quarterback locks onto his first option under pressure — your data doesn't explain why.

That's because the most important performance variable in sport has never been measured. Not processing speed. Not pattern recognition. Not composure under chaos. Until now, the cognitive side of the game lived entirely in a coach's gut. Primonal makes it visible, measurable, and trainable.

How it works

ASSESS. PROFILE. DEVELOP.

→ 30 min
→ Instant
01 — Assess
YOUR ATHLETE TAKES THE ASSESSMENT
Athletes complete sport-specific scenarios designed to surface real decision-making patterns. No trick questions, no abstract puzzles — just the kinds of reads, reactions, and choices they face in competition. Takes under 30 minutes.
Assess
02 — Profile
WE BUILD THEIR COGNITIVE PROFILE
Primonal scores each athlete across 11 distinct decision-making skills. You get a complete picture: where they're elite, where they're average, and where they're leaving performance on the table. Every score is anchored to real in-game behavior.

03 — Develop
YOU COACH THE WHOLE ATHLETE
Use cognitive profiles to design smarter practice plans, make better lineup decisions, and develop players who see the game faster. Track improvement over time. Know exactly what to work on and whether it's working.

SCOUTING REPORT
What we measure

THE 11 SKILLS THAT WIN GAMES

Every athlete's decision-making ability breaks down into 11 measurable skills. Some of your players are elite at a few. None of them are elite at all eleven. Now you can see exactly where the edge is — and where it isn't.

88
Read Speed
How fast an athlete identifies what's happening on the field and locks onto the right information.
72
Pattern Recognition
The ability to see a play developing before it fully unfolds, based on formation, spacing, and movement.
65
Pressure Processing
How well an athlete thinks and decides when the clock is short, the defense is collapsing, or the moment is big.
54
Anticipation
Predicting what an opponent or teammate will do next — and being right often enough to act on it.
79
Selective Attention
Filtering out noise and distractions to focus on what actually matters in a given situation.
91
Spatial Awareness
Knowing where everyone is on the field, court, or ice — including the players an athlete can't currently see.
61
Adaptability
How quickly an athlete adjusts when a play breaks down, a strategy changes, or something unexpected happens.
83
Decision Consistency
Making the right call not just once, but over and over — especially late in games when fatigue sets in.
47
Risk Calibration
Knowing when to take the safe play and when to attack. Not too aggressive, not too conservative — situationally tuned.
58
Multi-Option Processing
Handling situations with three, four, five possible choices and still arriving at the best one quickly.
70
Composure Under Chaos
Maintaining processing quality when everything around the athlete is loud, fast, and unpredictable.
11
Skills measured
Every skill is measurable. Every score is consistent. Every profile is built from how your athlete actually thinks — not how they say they think.

VALIDATED
Why the scores hold up

SCORES YOU CAN TRUST

When you pull up an athlete's cognitive profile, you need to know the numbers are real. Primonal's scoring engine produces the same result every time an athlete gives the same response. No subjectivity, no variance, no guesswork.

If your point guard scores a 74 in Read Speed on Monday, that 74 means exactly what it means on Friday, next month, and next season. That's how you track real development.

Repeatable
Same answers always produce the same scores. Test an athlete twice with identical responses and you get identical results. Period.
Sport-Specific
Scenarios and scoring are built around real game situations for each sport and position. This isn't a generic brain test borrowed from a lab.
Human-Built
Every scenario, every scoring model, and every skill definition was designed by researchers and coaches — not auto-generated by software.

For Coaches
See what film can't show you.
Film tells you what happened. Primonal tells you why. Get a decision-making profile for every athlete on your roster, identify who processes the game fastest, and build practice plans that develop the cognitive side — not just the physical one.
  • Full cognitive profiles for every rostered athlete
  • Side-by-side comparisons across your roster
  • Position-specific benchmarks so you know what 'good' looks like
  • Track cognitive development across a full season
  • Identify high-ceiling recruits who see the game at the next level
  • Data your strength and performance staff can actually use in programming
D1 · D2 · NAIA
For Athletes
Train the skill nobody else is working on.
You already put in the hours on your body. Primonal shows you how your mind performs under pressure — where you're sharp, where you're slow, and exactly what to work on to start seeing the game faster than the player across from you.
  • Know your 11 cognitive skill scores and what each one means
  • See where you rank and where you have room to grow
  • Get specific focus areas tied to your position and sport
  • Track improvement over weeks and months
  • Build mental game habits based on real data, not guesswork
  • Understand why you make the reads you make
PhD · IRB
For Researchers

  • Fully reproducible scoring across all administrations
  • Structured data export for statistical analysis
  • Longitudinal tracking with consistent measurement definitions
  • IRB-compatible administration and data handling protocols
Common questions

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

A full assessment takes under 30 minutes. Athletes complete it on their phone or computer — no special equipment needed. Most athletes say it feels more like a game than a test.
We currently support football, basketball, soccer, baseball, and hockey with position-specific scenarios. More sports are added regularly. Each scenario is built around the real decision-making moments for that position.
Film shows you what happened. Primonal measures why. Film can tell you a quarterback made the wrong read — Primonal tells you whether that was a pattern recognition issue, a processing speed issue, or a pressure response issue. They're complementary.
No. Athletes complete assessments on any phone, tablet, or computer with a web browser. No apps to download, no hardware to buy, no lab visits required.
Yes. Our scoring engine is fully deterministic — the same response always produces the same score. There's no AI interpretation, no subjective grading, and no variance between administrations. If a score changes, it's because the athlete's performance changed.
Athletes can complete sessions on their own time — before practice, during film review, or at home. Coaches assign scenarios from the dashboard and see results as they come in. It adds to your program without taking time from practice.
A complete cognitive profile for every athlete: 11 skill scores, percentile rankings by position, development trends over time, and specific recommendations for what each athlete should work on next. You can view individual athletes or compare across your roster.
Talk to our team and we'll set up your program — typically within a week. We configure your sport, positions, and roster, and your athletes can start their first assessment immediately.
