You have Soma Intelligence connected and answering questions. This is the step that changes the quality of those answers.
Soma Intelligence knows your data. It does not yet know how you want that data read. A project tells it.
What a project is
A saved workspace holding two things:
Instructions. How you want it to behave. Tone, structure, what to include and what to leave out.
Project knowledge. What it reads before every response. Soma's method, written down.
You set one up once and then work inside it. Everything you ask in that project is answered through what you put in it.
Why it matters
Ask a question without a project and you get an answer built on general knowledge plus whatever your data shows. It will be reasonable. It will also fill gaps, average across things that should not be averaged, and turn four results into a confident finding, because nothing has told it not to.
Ask the same question inside a project and three things change.
It says when something is missing. Ask about a baseline that does not exist and it tells you the plan ran without baseline comparison switched on, rather than substituting an average that looks like an answer.
It reads the metrics the way you would. Ask why an athlete slowed and it separates reaction time, accuracy and variation, because a task that slowed while gaining accuracy is trading speed for control rather than getting worse.
It shows its working. Every figure arrives with the result count behind it, so four results reads as a signal rather than a finding.
And the output holds its shape. Two athletes, two reports, identical in structure and different only in the data.
The four projects
Soma Project. Your everyday one. Ask anything about your athletes or about the method, answered from your data and a 42 page knowledge document covering the whole framework.
Soma Report Project. For the end of a block. Reviews the one that finished and builds the one that follows, as a document you can send on.
Soma Periodisation Project. Lays out a year of cognitive training, block by block, around your season.
Soma Baseline Report Project. Turns a finished block into a full baseline review. Overall, every task, every minute and every hour.
Each is separate. Set up the ones you need and ignore the rest.
Every one is built and ready to load, so there is nothing for you to write. New projects are added as the method develops and appear in your Hub folder as they land, and the existing ones are updated in place, so what you set up today keeps improving without you rebuilding it.
The project files come with Hub membership, alongside [everything else the Hub includes].
Setting one up
Five minutes, once per project.
Download the project files. Sign in to the Hub and open the folder for the project you are setting up.
Check Soma is connected. If you have not done this yet, start with Setting up Soma Intelligence.
Create the project. Projects in the sidebar, then New project. Name it after the project you are adding.
Paste the instructions file into Instructions. Every project folder has one. It goes in Instructions, not project knowledge.
Upload everything else into Project knowledge. The knowledge document, and the example documents where the project has them. The examples are the templates the output is built from, so do not skip them.
Start asking.
Make it yours
The files are a starting point. Once they are in your project they are yours, so open the instructions or the knowledge document and edit either.
Upload your logo to project knowledge and it appears on every document. A font that renders cleanly on any background is supplied. If you would rather use your own, attach the font file to the message where you ask for the document.
If you find yourself asking for the same change every time, put it in the instructions instead. That is what the file is for.
