The Chuun retake policy
For the founding cohort: one Chuun sitting every seven days, free, with no separate lifetime cap.
- Know the exact wait before you commit two hours to a sitting
- A retake costs nothing — the policy adds no fee to a free exam
- Read what is settled and what is still open, without reading between lines
The rule, in one line
For the founding cohort, you may sit Chuun once every seven days. Free, like the first sitting.
What the seven days run from
The window opens the moment you finish a sitting, not the day you registered. Finish on a Tuesday evening and the next sitting is available to you the following Tuesday evening. There is no separate lifetime cap while the founding cohort is open — the seven-day window is the whole of the limit.
You may only have one sitting open at a time. If a sitting broke off before you submitted it, don't wait out a week: write to hello@miatz.com and say what happened.
What it costs
Nothing. Chuun is free, always, and the retake policy adds no fee to it — no card, no reduced-rate second attempt, no paid fast lane past the wait.
What a retake does to your record
Every completed sitting is kept. Nothing you sit erases what you sat before, and no sitting removes access you already have — Chuun affects placement, never access.
What is not settled yet
Whether a later band supersedes an earlier one is not fixed. Until it is, a reviewer reads your sittings together with the rest of your application. When that rule is settled it will be published here first, and it will not be applied retroactively to a sitting you took under this page as it stands.
What your band does and does not decide
Your band is one input a person reads — it is not the decision. A human reviewer decides a cohort seat, reading your sittings alongside the rest of your application. No band admits anyone and no band refuses anyone on its own.
While the founding cohort is being calibrated, bands are issued as provisional: the instrument is still gathering the field data that turns a composite into a settled band. A provisional band is a real reading of a real sitting — it is simply not yet a number we would defend to the last point, and we would rather say so than imply a precision we have not earned.
Why a week
Long enough that a second sitting reflects a change in how you think rather than a change in your luck; short enough that nobody waits a season for a second chance. Chuun measures judgment, and judgment moves on the scale of weeks.
Frequently asked
Can I retake the Chuun?
Yes. For the founding cohort you may sit Chuun once every seven days, for as long as the cohort is open.
How long do I have to wait between Chuun sittings?
Seven days, counted from the sitting you finished — not from the day you registered.
Does a Chuun retake cost anything?
No. Chuun is free, and a retake is free on the same terms: no fee, no card, no reduced-rate second attempt to buy.
How many times can I sit the Chuun?
The founding cohort has no separate lifetime cap. The seven-day window is the whole of the limit.
Does a later Chuun band replace an earlier one?
Every completed sitting stays on your record — nothing you sit erases what you sat before. Whether a later band supersedes an earlier one is not fixed yet; until it is, a reviewer reads your sittings together, and the rule will be published here first.
Does my Chuun band decide whether I am selected?
No. Your band is one input a person reads. A human reviewer decides a cohort seat, reading your sittings alongside the rest of your application — no band admits anyone and no band refuses anyone on its own.
What if my sitting is interrupted?
The seven-day window is about sittings you finish. If a sitting broke off before you submitted it, write to hello@miatz.com rather than waiting out a week.
