Reading Your Protocol Chart

The contribution chart maps every day of your protocol at a glance. Each cell is one day, one verdict.

The Contribution Graph

Each protocol displays a grid where every cell represents one day’s outcome. Days fill in from left to right as the protocol progresses. Each row corresponds to one rule in the protocol, labeled on the left side.

Symbol Reference

Symbol	Status	Appearance
Filled green square	Pass	Solid green fill — rule satisfied
Filled red square	Fail	Solid red fill — rule not satisfied
Hollow gray square	Skip	Gray border only — user chose to skip
Gray dot	Pending	Small filled circle — within the 3-day window, not yet evaluated
Gray ”?” with dashed border	Void	No evaluation possible — data unavailable or attestation expired
Faint hollow square	Future	Light gray border — day has not arrived yet

The chart scrolls horizontally for longer protocols. A legend below the graph maps each symbol to its meaning.

What Patterns Tell You

A healthy protocol chart shows mostly green squares with occasional skips or voids. Clusters of red indicate a period where the behavior broke down. Scattered voids suggest a data sync or check-in timing issue rather than a commitment problem.

The chart is diagnostic. It does not just tell you whether you succeeded — it shows you when and where things went well or fell apart.

Adherence Percentage

Your adherence percentage is the core metric for every protocol. The formula:

Adherence = (passed days + skipped days) / total evaluated days

Skips count as adherent. Voids are excluded from the denominator entirely. Only days with a definitive pass or fail (plus skips) factor into the calculation.

Example: A 14-day protocol with 10 passes, 1 skip, 2 fails, and 1 void.

Numerator: 10 + 1 = 11
Denominator: 10 + 1 + 2 = 13 (void excluded)
Adherence: 11 / 13 = 84.6%

What this means for you: An 85% adherence rate on a 30-day protocol means you successfully followed your commitment on roughly 25 of 30 evaluated days. That is a strong track record — not perfection, but consistent effort. The percentage rewards sustainability over streaks.

Adherence Grades

[VERIFY] The codebase currently implements three grade tiers. The intended five-tier scale (A/B/C/D/F) may differ from what is currently live:

Grade	Threshold	Meaning
A — On Track	80% and above	Strong adherence to the protocol
B — At Risk	60% to 79%	Adherence is slipping — worth examining what changed
C — Failing	Below 60%	The protocol is not holding — consider whether the rules are realistic

The grade appears alongside your adherence percentage on the protocol detail screen. Color coding matches: green for A, amber for B, red for C.
