The case record.

Each case names the question, what happened and what Machine Nerve did. Tags show whether a fact was measured, reported from the field or written as an example.

Road America

Cockpit of a Porsche Cayman GT4 Clubsport at Road America.

What happened.

  1. Field-usedFounder-reported

    Find the gap before the next session.

    Laguna Seca, September 2026

    Find the gap before the next session.

    Where is the time, and what do we change before the next session?

  2. Field-usedMeasured

    Four hours. Six stints. One class win.

    Road Atlanta, 2026

    Four hours, six stints, one class win.

    Can a driver keep improving across a four-hour race?

    P1

    Class win. Median lap faster every stint.

  6. LiveExample

    AI may tune the threshold. Never the safety call.

    Method template V-12

    AI may tune the threshold. It may not touch the safety call.

    How much may the AI change on its own?

  7. In developmentMeasured

    Same core. Different machine.

    FlightDeck

    The same core, in a flight simulator.

    Does the session record carry over to another machine?

    MSFS

    Flight-simulator sessions on the same core.

Test the claim.

Race records show how a product was used. A controlled comparison tests whether it works.

Motorsport is the proving ground.

A race car combines heat, g-force, long stints and decisions at speed. Machine Nerve records the person and the machine on one clock, lap after lap. Supplement, nutrition and wearable companies get data for research and a fair test for their claims.

Research

Research direction. No product effect has been measured or claimed. A qualified research partner owns each study.

The company buys a comparison, not a positive conclusion. A qualified research partner, an agreed protocol and appropriate safety and ethics review come before a study.

Modeled view.

Question
Does the exact product change late-stint errors at comparable pace?
Comparison
Repeated baseline and a suitable placebo or active comparator.
Task
A repeatable simulator stint. Car, setup, training and task policy held constant.
Outcome
Prespecified errors per exposure, pace and consistency. Unassisted probes when testing learning.
Context
Quality-eligible physiology, prior training and consented health history.
Result
Positive, null, mixed or inconclusive. Uncertainty and missing data stay visible.

Questions worth asking.

  • Supplements and sports nutritionDoes the product change late-stint errors at comparable pace?
  • Hydration and coolingDoes it help a driver hold consistency through a hot stint?
  • Recovery and sleepDoes reported recovery match the next session's performance?
  • Wearables and sensorsDoes a new sensor agree with a chest-strap ECG while driving?
  • Equipment and apparelDoes a seat, glove or suit change inputs over a long stint?
  • Training programsDoes the program shorten the time to a skill standard?

Keep the comparison honest.

  1. Define the comparison.

    Exact product, target user, baseline, comparator and one primary performance question.

  2. Follow the same person.

    Repeated comparable sessions, declared training exposure and relevant consented history.

  3. Review the whole result.

    Task outcomes first. Physiological associations are context, with source quality, missingness and uncertainty.

  4. Keep the record.

    Protocol and analysis revisions, source-linked findings and separately permissioned public case studies.

Capture and method tools exist. Controlled supplement evaluation remains a research direction. Randomization, blinded supply, statistical review and publication rights need a study-specific plan.

Physiological signals are context for performance review. They are not diagnoses, emotion detection or fitness-for-duty measures.
