The Pristone Method
One capability loop across every track.
Pristone case studies document how the method was applied. They do not imply that another learner will receive the same result, and composites or illustrative examples must never be presented as real clients.
Written and operationally reviewed by Edward Mabonga, founder of Pristone Academy.
Published case studies
Three anonymized students at different starting points, each showing how a diagnosis-first process turns a student's own work into a prioritized, retested plan for AMC 10 and AIME preparation.

The relevant baseline and context, stated without unnecessary identifying details.
The evidence supporting the highest-priority bottleneck rather than a retrospective success narrative.
What was taught, practiced, built, reviewed, or changed—and over what general kind of period.

What cannot be attributed to Pristone and what remains uncertain or incomplete.

What this page will not become
A plausible story is not evidence and will not be published as a case study.
Combined or illustrative scenarios must be labeled clearly and kept separate from real-client evidence.
Names, schools, employers, exact dates, distinctive artifacts, and personal histories are removed unless essential and explicitly authorized.
A documented outcome demonstrates what happened in one context, not what every buyer should expect.
