The limits of the evidence

What we do not claim.

A research library is only honest if it's clear about its edges. These are the claims FocusMirror will not make.

  • We do not diagnose attention disorders.
  • We do not claim all switching is bad.
  • We do not claim more deep work is always better.
  • We do not score human worth or discipline.
  • We do not provide medical, psychological, or educational diagnosis.

Evidence you can check, applied with restraint.
