What the number means.
One number, 0 to 100, read from four systems in your body. It tells you how your biology is running today, and it sets your level, Friction to Apex. Biology can be changed. The number shows how far it has turned down, and how far it comes back.
FRICTION
0 – 35
You have been carrying this a while, and from the outside nobody would know. Every system is under load at once. Not age. Not willpower. 14 days to start taking it off you.
COMPROMISED
35 – 55
Several systems are down together, and each is holding the others there. That is why fixing them one at a time never worked. It is also why this band has the most room to move, once the order is right.
STEADY
55 – 70
Nothing here is shouting, which is why it has gone unattended. Your body has enough to run the day and not much past it.
SHARP
70 – 85
This system is already working. What is left is quieter, and harder to find precisely because nothing is obviously wrong. Refinement, not repair.
APEX
85 – 100
Your body has room to do what you ask of it and recover from it. The work changes shape here: holding this through a heavy quarter, a run of travel, a week of bad sleep.
Your score is read from four systems in your body, each out of 25. The lowest is where the work starts.
