What you leave with

  1. 01

    Cues that get harder to read

    One cue and two options, then four, then random timing.

  2. 02

    Measured at the end

    A taper and test week, so four phases of work finish on numbers you can see.

  3. 03

    Less volume, not more

    Lower than Phase 3, because the hard part here is the decision.
