Trident G Far Transfer Protocol™
Not just brain training.
Not just brain training.
Train general intelligence.
IQ Mindware apps are built around the Trident G Protocol (TM): a structured system for improving cognitive control, working-memory capacity and reasoning under changing demands in the emerging AI-driven economy.

Train the system. Test the transfer.
Increase the demand
Training moves from control and working memory into reasoning and problem-solving under higher load.
Track intelligence gains
IQ Pro uses built-in IQ assessments and transfer checks to measure whether your performance improves beyond the training task.
Choose your training route
Start with puzzle missions, go deeper with the full Trident G protocol, or add personal setup support.
Buy any route directly. Mission Arena is the focused starter. IQ Pro is the complete intelligence-training programme. Coaching Premium adds one-to-one guidance so you can start correctly and avoid wasted effort.

How IQ Pro works
The full Trident G intelligence-training pathway
IQ Pro starts each session by checking your current training capacity, then guides you through adaptive working-memory and reasoning challenges. Built-in progress checks help you track whether your gains extend beyond the daily training games.
Zone Pulse
A short attention task estimates your Cognitive Bandwidth: how much relevant information you can process per second during the task.
This gives the app a task-based signal for choosing your daily training route.Coach-led routing
IQ Pro uses your Zone Pulse result to guide the day’s training dose.
You may be routed into a full session, an adjusted session, or a lighter pathway depending on your current capacity.Capacity Gym
Adaptive training builds the core systems behind intelligence: focus, working-memory control, updating and rule-holding under pressure.
The challenge changes over time so you are not just learning one fixed game.Reasoning Gym
Reasoning challenges train pattern discovery, relation matching, constraint solving and must-follow inference.
This is where IQ Pro moves from raw capacity into higher-level problem-solving.
Progress is checked separately
Explore the protocol
IQ Pro does not treat game completion as proof of intelligence gain by itself. The programme includes separate IQ and progress checks so you can track improvement beyond the training exercises.
Focused Starter
Puzzle missions for strategic intelligence
Mission Arena turns puzzle play into structured intelligence training. Each mission focuses on a specific problem-solving move: preserving constraints, testing hidden structure, reducing uncertainty, and extracting the strategy after play.
Use Mission Arena as the focused starter route into the IQ Mindware method — or as the puzzle-based training layer included inside IQ Pro.
Try Mission ArenaBuild complete solutions while holding several rules in mind. Each move trains you to ask what a clue allows, what it rules out, and which options are still possible.
Probe an invisible system, compare hypotheses, and use evidence before committing. The goal is not guessing faster — it is reducing uncertainty intelligently.
Reflection prompts and strategy notes help you name the problem-solving skill behind the puzzle, so you remember the method rather than only the answer.
Who IQ Mindware is for
Built for people who need sharper thinking under pressure
IQ Mindware is for people who want more than casual brain games. It is designed for users who need stronger focus, working memory, reasoning and problem-solving in demanding real-world contexts.
These are use cases, not separate products. Choose Mission Arena, IQ Pro or Coaching Premium depending on how deeply you want to train.
Handle complexity and information overload
Train the mental control needed for interruption-heavy work, complex information, competing priorities and high-stakes decisions.
Build reasoning under pressure
Practise working-memory control, pattern discovery and problem-solving across changing task demands — useful preparation for exams, aptitude tests and intensive study.
Prepare for the next level
Train the cognitive skills needed for interviews, assessment tasks, analytical work and career transitions where faster learning and better judgement matter.
Stay cognitively active
Use structured attention, memory and reasoning challenges to keep training your mind with purpose, progression and variety.
Think better with AI, not less
Use IQ Mindware to strengthen independent judgement, problem framing and reasoning while using AI as an extension of your thinking rather than a replacement for it.
Evidence and reassurance
Proof-led intelligence training
IQ Mindware is built to do more than reward improvement on one familiar game. The Trident G protocol uses changing task demands, reasoning challenges and separate progress checks to help assess whether training gains extend beyond daily exercises.
See the evidence and claims boundaryProgress under change
IQ Pro uses adaptive training, changing formats, reasoning demand and transfer-oriented re-checks to examine whether progress holds when the challenge changes.
Intelligence and training data
IQ Pro includes psychometric IQ tests, capacity measures and reasoning checks, so progress can be tracked separately from simple game completion.

Testimonials
“I like your approach and I think you are actually putting emphasis on exactly the interventions that work.”
“I could tell a marked improvement in my ability to block distractions and focus, which allowed me to keep more items in my workspace.”

Founder and scientific lead
Developed by Dr Mark Ashton Smith
Dr Mark Ashton Smith is a cognitive neuroscientist trained at the Center for the Neural Basis of Cognition at the University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon University, and a former lecturer and researcher in psychology at the University of Cambridge.
IQMindware grew from a long-running intervention question: how can cognitive training be designed so that progress is tested beyond practice effects? That work was synthesised into the Trident G framework, which guides the protocol, progression logic, and disciplined claims boundary.
