Read a chart without fooling yourself
Content reviewed
A worked denominator example and a guide to gaps, rest and trends.
The ninety-day strip is a calendar
Its denominator is always 90. It shows how much of the whole plan has been fully completed, including dates still ahead. A 10% value means nine fully complete dates, not a 10% success rate on the days you attempted.
The weekly chart asks a different question
For a reached seven-day week with two planned rests, the active denominator is five. If three dates are fully complete, the chart shows 3/5, or 60%. A missed day and an unrecorded day remain in those five. Future dates are outside the denominator.
Inspect the source before judging a trend
One week at 100% may contain only one reached active day. Read the active-day count beside the bar, then open the corresponding review and daily notes. Rest and missed labels override counting while retaining the original checks. Changing a label can therefore change a bar without deleting a check.
Export a table you can audit
The summary CSV contains each week and phase, date boundaries, reached dates, rests, active dates, complete dates and percentage. It contains no note or reflection text. The daily CSV is a different export and includes saved notes; read its label before sharing. Neither file establishes causation or predicts future performance.
