Lifetime access to Personal IQ Tracking, the monthly Founders Newsletter, the quarterly Deep Dive, and the founders wall. One payment. No renewals. This offer exists once.
Three signs you're in the right place.
Before you press play you ask "is this worth my brain right now?" Most people don't. You've stopped finishing shows you resent.
Netflix autoplay isn't a recommendation, it's a metric. You want a published rubric, named reviewers, and reasoning you can argue with.
You've been reading TVI for free. You'd like to keep reading it a year from now, and to help the only TV scoring system that refuses to rank by vibes stay independent.
This is the one chance to lock in lifetime access at founder pricing.
Seven things. One $99 payment. No renewal page. No upsell email. You get all of it the day you join.
Mark what you watch. See your Personal IQ, dimension profile, and streak. Local to your browser today; cross-device sync ships when the backend lands.
Monthly, founder-only. This month's most-discussed scores, new database additions, what's coming. Sent before any public version of the same content.
One show or film each quarter, dismantled across the three dimensions. Why it scores what it scores. What it costs you to watch. What it gives you back. Founders see it 30 days before the public.
Your name on /founders/ for the life of the site. Numbered in order, #1 through #100. Mentioned on the About page.
Two requests per year. Founders skip the public queue. We score it, write the rationale, and add it within 30 days. Your name credited on the title page if desired.
When something new ships, a new tool, a feature, a kids release, founders hear about it first, the day it ships. Your feedback shapes the roadmap.
No mystery box. Here is the membership, before you spend a dollar.
The film hands a child images for feelings they can feel before they can explain them: the terror of losing a parent, the burden of being chosen, the shame of staying away too long.
The Founding Circle closes when 100 people join or 90 days from launch, whichever comes first. After that, premium becomes a $9/month subscription. No grandfathering. No "oh let me in at the old price." It's 100 and done.
This matters to us for one reason: the people who join now are paying for a product most of which doesn't exist yet. You're underwriting the build. In exchange, you never pay again.
Not "improved" better, measurably better, by your own Personal IQ trend. You decide. Email us any time in the first six months and we return your $99 in full, no questions, and you keep founder access as our thank-you for trying.
Jordan Robinson, board-certified surgeon, Plastic Surgery Fellow at Vanderbilt, Navy LCDR, built TV Intelligentsia because he got tired of algorithms that mistake engagement for value. The kids vertical is reviewed by Cordelia Witty, EdS., NCSP, a credentialed school psychologist. The main database uses a three-dimensional rubric grounded in published cognitive science.
We don't run ads. We don't do affiliate links. We don't take money from studios. The only way to fund this work is readers paying for it directly.
One payment. Lifetime access. 6-month guarantee. If you're going to join, join before 100.

You keep getting the free newsletter. Founding Circle is a separate tier that unlocks the Personal IQ tracker, the monthly founder-only newsletter, the quarterly Deep Dive, and the founders wall. Your existing subscription continues unchanged.
Yes. One payment of $99 buys lifetime access to everything listed above for as long as TV Intelligentsia exists. If we shut the site down, we'll refund pro-rata. If the price goes up for new members, you still pay zero.
Right now it lives only in your browser, and you can export or delete it any time. Cross-device sync ships when the backend lands; until then it stays on your device. We never sell it.
Email us within 6 months and we refund $99 in full. You keep any notes, exports, or content you've saved. No claw-back.
