"Venture capital funds cognitive output every day. None of them can see it." — CB-352 · Ψ-001 · B.Hines
ARCHON Ψ is the cognitive measurement kernel for CortexChain — the first audit-ready scoring engine that converts human neural output into capital-grade scores.
It answers one question that every investor, board, and operator currently cannot:
How much cognitive capital did this person, team, or session actually produce — and is it compounding?
ARCHON Ψ is not a wellness app. It is measurement infrastructure — the same category as a financial ledger or credit score, applied for the first time to cognitive output.

| Component | Role | Type |
|---|---|---|
| QTAC₇ | 7-factor composite (Q·T·A·C·D·R·V) | House invention |
| Stone Score | Capital-grade verdict [0–10] | House invention |
| G(t) | Realized throughput over time | House invention |
| Ω-Gap | QTAC − Stone (illusion drift signal) | House invention |
| VOLT | Cognitive capital unit, minted per verified session | House invention |
| Canon Ledger | Append-only sealed block register | House invention |
QTAC₇ and Stone Score are house inventions, not scientific claims. Substrate draws on cognitive capital research, biometric validation, and graph centrality.
| Ψ-Grade | Tier | Allowed |
|---|---|---|
| < 6.0 | FREEZE | Diagnosis and retrial only. No VOLT issuance, no builds, no outbound. |
| 6.0 – 7.5 | MAINTENANCE | Verified minting, bounded experiments, pre-approved comms. |
| ≥ 7.5 | GROWTH | Full VOLT issuance, new builds, GTM, Canon seals. |

"ARCHON Ψ is a CortexChain-native scoring stack inspired by cognitive capital research, biometric validation, and graph centrality. QTAC₇ and Stone Score are house inventions — not scientific claims. The moat is the deployed engine, the Canon Ledger corpus, and the burn-gate traction model."
