Why is Cognitive Load shown as Light, Engaged or Intense instead of a score?

Advancify shows Cognitive Load as Light, Engaged or Intense to make changes in your work patterns easier to understand at a glance.

A precise numerical score could suggest a level of measurement accuracy that the indicator is not intended to provide. Advancify indicators are personalized estimates based on patterns observed during screen use, not clinical, neurological or psychological measurements.

The three levels are designed to help you understand whether your current work appears to involve a relatively lighter, more engaged or more intensive level of mental effort compared with your typical patterns, without implying that there is a single exact value for cognitive load.
