About Premise Lab
A structured-thinking platform for students aged 14–22. Each lab is a real-world scenario worked through five steps, with a coach reviewing your responses and a score that tracks improvement over time.
The lab experience
- 1
You read the scenario — a real situation with stakeholders, constraints, and data. No textbook problems.
- 2
You work through the five FACTS steps — each with its own prompt and a word minimum. A coach reviews every response.
- 3
The debrief shows your per-step scores, your top gaps, and the recommended next lab targeting your weakest dimension.
- 4
Drills follow — two-minute exercises personalized to the gap your coach flagged. Built from your results, not a generic library.

FAQ
Premise Lab is built for ages 14–22, with three age bands (14–15, 16–18, 18–22) that adjust scenario context and tone. The thinking framework is the same; the framing changes.
Most labs take 8–15 minutes from start to debrief. There's a soft timer, but the experience is paced — not a quiz under pressure.
No. It's a habit. Labs are short enough to fit between other things and they don't generate a grade. They generate a signal — a PSI score — that you can watch move over time.
Tutors help you with specific subjects. Premise Lab trains the underlying ability to break down any problem. Both are useful; they're not the same thing.
Yes. Students 14+ can use Premise Lab on their own. Parents who want visibility can link their account through a confirmation flow your child has to accept. The 18–22 experience is fully independent — no parent dashboard, no linking.
PSI stands for Premise Skill Index. It's a 0–100 score across 6 thinking dimensions, updated after every lab using a weighted moving average so single labs don't dominate. It's a signal of growth, not a percentile or a grade.
Two labs free. No credit card.
