How do you actually assess and train the thinking skills?

For the past few months, one question hasn’t left me alone:

How do we actually train thinking — not just skills, tools, or content consumption, but the invisible patterns of thought that decide outcomes?

We obsess over course completions, certificates, hours watched.
But we almost never look at the micro–skills that really shape our reasoning, like:

• Taking responsibility for gathering the right context instead of waiting for a perfect brief

• Choosing which pieces of evidence matter and which are just noise

• Noticing when our assumptions steer the argument more than the facts

• Reframing the whole problem when something simply doesn’t add up

No one puts “evidence selection” or “responsibility for context” in a job title, yet these are exactly the muscles that separate shallow reasoning from serious thinking. And almost nobody trains them deliberately.

That question became my starting point for AXIOM — a thinking‑first trainer for people who see themselves as thinkers before job titles: analysts, PMs, strategists, founders.

In AXIOM you:

• Think out loud through realistic, scenario‑based conversations

• Get a transparent map of your thinking patterns: strengths, blind spots, and how you compare to similar peers

• Follow a personalized training path that targets the hard stuff — responsibility for context, evidence selection, handling uncertainty, quality of judgment

• Re‑test over time so you can actually see your thinking evolve

• Earn a “thinking credential” you can share — but more importantly, understand how your mind is changing

On Monday I’m launching AXIOM on Product Hunt.

Before that, I’d love to hear from other people who are obsessed with thinking:

• What aspects of your own thinking would you most want to measure and improve?

• What kinds of scenarios would truly stretch your mind, not just your memory or framework library?

• Which “invisible” thinking skills (like evidence selection or responsibility for context) feel the most underrated in real work?

• If there were a thinking credential you actually respected, what would it need to prove?

Curious to read your thoughts — they’ll directly shape where AXIOM goes after launch.
