AOL stands for Analytical OverLay. In ARV, precognitive information comes from the subconscious mind. The intellect is present only to record what arises from that deeper awareness. However, viewers often jump to analytical conclusions based on partial subconscious information — these are AOLs. When this happens, write the named object on the right side of your transcript labeled "AOL," then continue to gather descriptive impressions from your subconscious. Most AOLs are not correct, but they are worth noting and moving past.

Correct — the intellect should not be used to name targets or objects within a target. Instead, use sensory and qualitative descriptors: textures, colors, temperatures, shapes, movements, sounds, smells, tastes, and emotional tones. Sketches of partial target elements are also always encouraged. .

In ARV, a coordinate is simply a Target Reference Number (TRN) — usually a series of numbers and/or letters (for example, 684901) that stands in as a blind label for a specific target. Using a coordinate keeps the viewer from knowing what they are attempting to perceive in advance.

A PhotoSite (PS) target refers to a specific physical location at the specific moment a photograph was taken. The viewer's consciousness is expected to "visit" that site at that moment and describe or sketch readily verifiable impressions — first-impression gestalts, visuals (colors, shapes, dimensions), sounds, smells, tastes, tactile sensations, and emotions.

The Targ Confidence Ranking (CR) Scale — also called the SRI Scale — is a 0–7 rating guide developed by Russell Targ and colleagues at Stanford Research Institute. Analysts use it to compare an RV transcript against a photosite target and assign a score. In ARV, the analyst compares the transcript against both possible targets. A score of 3.5 or higher is generally considered the minimum indicator of a meaningful psychic connection sufficient to support a wager.

FIG50 is APP's recommended judging approach using First Impression Gestalts (FIGs). The analyst identifies the top gestalt impressions from a transcript and uses them — weighted at 50% of the overall score — when applying the 0–7 Targ Confidence Ranking to compare a transcript against a photosite. Reference images illustrating the FIG50 method and worked examples are available on the APP FAQs page.

APP sports group predictions are structured as over/under forecasts on the total combined score of both teams in a game. The betting site sets a line (total points), and the group predicts whether the actual total will be over or under that number. A sample prediction email looks like this:

Event: Over/Under NBA Sporting Event
Date/Time: 20180323 – 6:30 AM PT
Group Prediction: Under
Line: 218.5
Side1 / Side2: Under / Over

Predictions will always be Over, Under, or Pass. Tutorials on how to place over/under wagers are available by searching "betting sites over under" on YouTube.

APP makes a clear distinction between wagering and investing. Because precognition can provide a statistical edge, viewers who consistently maintain a hit rate of roughly 65% or higher on 50/50 probable events move into investment territory. APP tracks individual hit-rate statistics to help viewers gauge their readiness.

APP financial groups currently use the SPY ETF (approximately one-tenth the price of the S&P 500), with derivatives such as S&P 500 futures or SPY options used for actual trading. The posted line for each prediction represents a price-change distance from the 6:30 AM PT NYSE opening price, used to set stop and limit orders. Whichever is reached first — stop or limit — determines the Up or Down outcome; if neither is reached by 1:00 PM PT, the 1:00 PM price determines the outcome.

A sample financial prediction email:

Event: SPY
Date/Time: 20190708 – 6:30 AM PT
Group Prediction: Up
Line: 0.65
Side1 / Side2: Up / Down
Predictions: 4 Up, 1 Down

APP follows a "grow rich slowly" philosophy and advises always investing wisely, since precognition is never 100% accurate.
