33 parameters the method measures — none of them an opinion
Neurophysiology gives the ground truth, cognition explains the cost, affect explains the encoding, causality proves the effect, AI extrapolates it, ethics constrains it.

What is measured, and why it matters to your business
Every parameter below is a real measurable quantity — attention, emotion, effort, memory, causal effect, model accuracy — with a healthy operating range. Outside that range, revenue is being lost in a specific, identifiable way.
The unit tells you how it is measured.
The band tells you what healthy looks like.
The meaning tells you what it costs when it slips.
Standard scientific acronyms and units (EEG, fMRI, ms, Hz) remain in their internationally used form; all explanations are in your language.
