Assess
01We write down where you start, in numbers. Without that line, six months from now there is nothing to compare against.
ONE METHOD
Changing three things at once is the fastest way to learn nothing.
Write down where you start, in numbers. Change the one thing the assessment points at. Watch whether you can actually do the work. Then measure again under the same protocol, and say so if it did not work.
Two decades of applied cycling science.
ONE method
Measure, change one thing, measure again.
It sounds obvious and it is where most processes break: they change three things at once and then nobody can tell which one worked.
Assess. Intervene. Monitor. Verify.
Intervene
02We change what the assessment points at, and we say why that one and not another.
Monitor
03We watch load, recovery and whether you are actually doing the work, because a plan you cannot follow is not a plan.
Verify
04We measure again under the same protocol. If it did not work, that gets said too.
ONE monitoring tools
Monitoring that shows what changes.
ONE combines analysis rules, reports and internal protocols to turn scattered information into process control. Some tools are being integrated operationally; proprietary dashboards remain in development.
Internal rules to establish baselines, alerts and intervention priorities.
Assessment protocols connected with BIKEFIT 3D, training, force and power.
Reports and visualizations designed to show response, progress and the next adjustment.
Artificial intelligence as organizational support, always subordinate to professional judgment.
Frequently asked questions
Questions about the method.
What do assess, intervene, monitor and verify actually mean?
Assessing is establishing a baseline from goals, history, data, sensations, position and context. Intervening is applying a concrete training, fit or purchase strategy. Monitoring is following load, recovery, adherence and response throughout the process, not only at the start and the end. Verifying is measuring the response and documenting the change, including when the change is not the one expected.
How is this different from a normal training plan?
A plan is an intervention: the second of the four steps. The method is what decides which intervention applies before it is written, and what checks afterwards whether it worked. A plan without a prior baseline cannot be verified, because there is nothing to compare it against.
Do I need a power meter or a lot of data to start?
Not to begin. More data makes the reading finer, but the baseline is also built from history, sensations, position and context. What is stated from the outset is how far the interpretation can go with the data available, rather than presenting every reading as equivalent.
How long before it is clear the intervention worked?
It depends on what was changed. A position change can be felt within the first long rides; a physiological adaptation needs blocks of weeks before a measurement means anything. Verifying too early produces noise, not evidence.
Start with an assessment and a measurable baseline.
