About

FCE (Functional Cognition & Execution) is a baseline-relative functional instrument. It measures how performance today compares to your own normal range — not to population averages.

One-paragraph overview (copy-ready)

FCE is a baseline-relative functional performance instrument that measures short-task execution and tracks change relative to an individual’s normal range. It is designed for repeatable checks and transparent history, with local-only data by default and refusal logic that protects against misleading results. FCE is not diagnostic and does not produce automated decisions.

Why repeated use matters

FCE is designed to be used more than once. A single session provides a snapshot, while repeated use allows comparison across time.

By running the same short tasks under different real-world conditions (e.g. rested, tired, distracted, recovered), users may become better at noticing consistency, variability, and deviation from their own normal range.

FCE does not interpret results or explain causes. Any recognition of patterns is user-led and emerges through comparison, not instruction.

Insight, if any, comes from repetition and comparison — not from a single result.

What FCE reflects (without medical claims)

Functional performance reflects the combined state of multiple body systems, including neural signaling, attention control, motor execution, and background regulation involved in arousal, stress, and recovery.

FCE does not measure these systems directly. It measures observable task execution (speed, control, consistency) and compares today's performance to an individual's own baseline.

What FCE measures (and what it does not)

FCE is a short-task instrument that captures functional execution signals such as: reaction speed, response stability, inhibitory control, attention under divided load, and motor accuracy.


FCE does:

  • Track functional performance over time relative to a personal baseline
  • Support careful self-checks and structured monitoring
  • Refuse to score when data quality is insufficient

FCE does not:

  • Diagnose medical, psychiatric, or neurological conditions
  • Detect substances or infer causes of deviation
  • Produce automated or binding decisions

FCE focuses on execution under time and attention constraints, not on intelligence, knowledge, or aptitude.

FCE is designed to support human interpretation, not replace it.

Integrity and refusal

FCE includes integrity logic that labels sessions by quality. If a session cannot support a valid comparison, FCE marks it as not usable rather than generating a misleading result.

  • Protects against false certainty from incomplete or distorted input
  • Encourages repeatability and cautious interpretation
  • Preserves the baseline-relative design

Refusal is protection — not failure. Retesting is always allowed.

Privacy model

FCE is designed to work offline and store data locally by default. There are no accounts and no server upload in the default instrument.

  • Local-only storage (on this device)
  • Manual export (optional)
  • Transparency-first history (sessions visible to the user)

Any future institutional layer should be explicit and separate — not silently bundled into the instrument.
