02 · What you'll practice

4 readiness axes, each scored on what you actually do.

TrainIQ doesn't score seat time. Every rep feeds the axis it actually exercises — judgment under realistic pressure, not multiple-choice trivia.

Alert triage speed

Reading an alert fast and calling the right next move. Measured from triage and classification reps on SOC courses.

Putting incidents in the right bucket. Derived from threat and ops sessions across Sec+ / CySA+ material.
