The Problem
The problem isn’t effort. It’s reliability under complexity.
Modern work is high-stakes thinking under time pressure. Most “brain training” creates ‘thin automation’ gains: you improve in the game, then performance drops when you’re stressed, distracted, or the situation changes.
Trident G trains ‘transfer’ on purpose. We build your mental workspace (capacity) and a compact thinking method you can run on real problems — then we prove it holds with change tests and real-world missions.
- > stay in the zone under load
- > build usable working-memory control
- > turn wins into mindware scripts (personal playbooks)
- > stress-test transfer with swaps and delay checks
- > Lock in what generalizes.
The Founder
Built from cognitive neuroscience. Designed to be testable.
The training protocol has been developed over many years by Mark Ashton Smith, PhD — cognitive neuroscientist & applied psychologist, former researcher/lecturer at the University of Cambridge, with doctoral training through the Carnegie Mellon–University of Pittsburgh Center for the Neural Basis of Cognition program.
“I don’t sell motivation. I build effective thinking ‘operating systems’: capacity stability under stress + a compact mindware method for turning insight into action — then we run proof checks to see what really carries over to augment general intelligence.”

The Difference
Not brain games. A thinking operating system.
Most programs give you games or tips. IQ Mindware trains a general-purpose thinking engine: higher capacity stability under load, plus a portable inference + validation method you can run on real problems — then we prove it carries over, rather than assuming it.
- Thinking language: a small set of core thinking moves that combine like building blocks, so you can reason faster without guessing.
- Solve → capture → stress-test: turn wins into reusable mindware scripts, then push them through new contexts (swaps, tomorrow checks, missions).
- In the Zone first: performance is state-dependent, so you stabilise first, then train, then lock-in what holds.
No hype. No placebo. This is evidence-seeking training designed for far transfer.
Most brain training programs stop at practice or ‘high scores’. Trident G is built for proven training ‘transfer’ to real life: you train focus and mental workspace using n-back brain training games, learn a small, universal set of thinking moves, then stress-test them under change. If they benefit problem solving, comprehension, argumentation or strategic action the real world, you capture it as a script you can reuse it as ‘crystallised intelligence’. 20-24 days training, 20-30 min per session.
Start here
Capacity Coach
+ G Tracker
Daily training + tracking
What it is
Short daily training sessions using the standalone Capacity Coach web app and your desktop working-memory training games, paired with simple, validated tracking.
What it means
You train flexibility and stability under load, then log the proof: stability, re-entry, and whether your gains hold up when conditions change. This keeps progress real and measurable, not just “game scores” or vague psychology.
Best for
People who want a 20-minute daily routine they can start immediately. This is your IQ “engine” training, with clear progress signals.
Setup Call (Accelerator)
One session to set you plan
What it is
A one-off recorded Zoom session with Dr Mark Ashton Smith.
What it means
We choose your best starting lane, set your first mission with a clear success signal, and build a 7-day plan that combines training with proof checks. You’ll leave knowing exactly what to do each day, what to track, and how to carry your training forward based on your goals and constraints.
Best for
Motivated people who want fast clarity, a personalised starting plan, insight into the current state of cognitive training for performance and fewer wrong turns.
Live Cohort Pass
(Coach Led)
4-session Transfer Clinic
What it is
A small-group, live 4-session programme focused on installing the Trident G loop with guided troubleshooting.
What it means
Each session helps you apply the method to your real work: mission framing, “in the zone” setup, capacity + mindware practice, and proof checks (change tests and delayed re-checks). You’ll augment your processing capacity for useful ‘mindware’, consolidating what gives you clear ‘wins’.
Best for
People who want structure, accountability, and live calibration. Ideal if you learn best with real-time feedback and shared momentum.
