Sculpt Score

01 What the spec forces

What this screen has to do

Rev 4 supersedes the 0–150 deviation index. The hero on Home was built on the old model and has been corrected: 712, On track, −11 today.

Publish the weights

30 / 25 / 20 / 15 / 10. A credit score publishing its factor weights is the whole reason for the metaphor. Hiding them throws away what we borrowed.

Show it falling

The invariant: over-reaching must make the number visibly drop with the cause named. A fall that reads as a bug means the metaphor failed.

Colour on the band, not the delta

The spec says never red-alarm; you have asked for red / amber / green. Resolved by colouring where you are, never which way you moved — so a bad day inside a green band stays green, and red only appears in Off track, which genuinely does mean the goal is not happening on this trajectory.

Sculpt phrases, never computes

Trust rule §7. Every figure in the summary comes from the nightly recompute; the model only writes the sentences around them. Stated on the card, because a coached paragraph that might be inventing numbers is worth less than no paragraph.

Always attributable

Each nightly recompute stores the largest delta and names its factor. That table is what the trend and “What changed” read from.

Explainable in a sentence

Stated failure mode: if users cannot explain their own score, it has failed. Hence a four-question explainer behind every factor.

Not a credit score

Borrow the model, never the authority. Said once, plainly, at the bottom — not in a legal block nobody reads.

02 Three screens

The breakdown, one factor, and the state before a number exists

Sample user throughout: 712, band On track, down 11 today because two sessions started on a fatigued group — the spec’s own attribution example.

Screen 1

What What’s in your score opens. Number, band and the full red-to-green range with your pin on it; then Sculpt explaining the movement in three paragraphs; then the trend, the history, and the five published weights.

Why it movedSculpt · rewritten 6:02 AM

Turning up has not been your problem — 18 of 20 planned sessions in four weeks, and that is the heaviest factor you have. It is what carried you from 644 to 723 since September.

What pulled you back is chest. You started Push Day at 28% freshness on Nov 24, then did it again on Nov 29. Recovery is 20% of the score and it is the one factor where training more makes it worse, so two hard sessions on a tired group cost you 11.

Rest tomorrow and chest clears 66% by Thursday. The score earns back at +6 a day at most, so this is about a week — it falls faster than it climbs, by design.

These sit outside the 100. When one fires it dominates — nothing else can compensate for it.

Climbs slowly, falls fast. At most +6 in a day, at most −15. A month of consistency should feel earned; a week of over-reaching registers straight away.

Recomputed every night, and it moves on rest days — deadlines advance and freshness recovers whether or not you open the app.

Sculpt Score is not a credit score and has nothing to do with your finances. We borrowed the shape because you already know how to read it.

Scroll the frame—

Strength — the trend does the teaching. Drawing the bands behind the line means a user learns the scale by watching their own number move through it, so the five bands never need a legend screen. And it makes the fall legible as a dip inside On track rather than as a failure.

Weakness — long, and the summary makes it longer. Three paragraphs of coach above the trend is a lot to read before you see the shape of your own month, and there is real duplication: the summary says "18 of 20" and the Adherence factor says it again forty lines down. It is also the one block that cannot be checked at a glance — everything else on this screen is a number you can verify.

On the colour — five bands into three hues means the top three are all green, deepening. That is the honest mapping: On track and above all mean the goal happens, so they should not be different colours. The cost is that Dialled in looks like a slightly darker On track rather than an achievement.

Open — whether factor ratings should be words at all. "Low" against Recovery reads like a grade on the user, which the band vocabulary was specifically written to avoid. And whether the summary is rewritten nightly or only when the dominant factor changes: a paragraph that shifts every morning stops being read by week three.

Screen 2

Recovery & Load

Any factor, opened. Four questions in a fixed order — what it measures, where your number came from, why it is at this level, what moves it. The stated failure mode is a user who cannot explain their own score, so this is the screen that has to work hardest.

9:41

Recovery & load20%−11

This is the utilisation factor. It is the only one where doing more makes it worse — the same way maxing a card lowers a credit score.

FreshnessLast 14 days

Recovered 66+ Partial 33–66 Fatigued <33 Session started · Nov 24, Nov 29 · both 28%

What it measures

Whether you are training inside what your body can currently absorb — across every muscle group, and against the safe rate each of your goals is moving at.

Where your number comes from

Strain from each session decays with a two-day half-life, and what is left is your fatigue. Freshness is what remains of your capacity: 100 × (1 − fatigue / reference). Below 33 a group is fatigued.

Why it is at this level

You started Push Day at 28% chest freshness on Nov 24, and again on Nov 29. Both count. Nothing else in this factor is against you — your pace is inside its safe rate on all three goals.

What moves it

A rest day, or starting your next session above 66%. Chest is back above 66 by Thursday on current recovery. Bear in mind the score climbs at up to +6 a day, so 11 points takes about a week to earn back.

Move to rest

Why doing more can lower it. Every other factor rewards effort. This one is the brake — it is what stops intensity buying score, and it is why training through fatigue shows up as a fall rather than a climb.

Scroll the frame—

Strength — the four questions in a fixed order is the whole idea: once a user has read one factor they know how to read the other four, so the pattern only has to be learned once. Marking the two fatigued sessions directly on the freshness chart means "why it is at this level" is answered by the picture before the paragraph.

Weakness — "What moves it" is making a forecast — chest above 66 by Thursday — off a decay curve that assumes no further training. If the user trains Wednesday that promise breaks, and a broken promise here costs more trust than the explainer buys.

Open — whether all five factors expand, or only the one the attribution line names. Five explainers is five screens to maintain and four of them are read once.

Screen 3

Before There Is A Number

The spec forbids showing a score below threshold — it renders what is still needed instead. This is what Home’s hero becomes for a new user, and it replaces the blurred locked tile the board proposed.

Two more sessions and three more days

Then you get a number. It starts around 650 and climbs from there — you are not starting from the bottom.

Five factors, and you can see all of them from day one. The heaviest is simply turning up.

It climbs slowly and falls fast, which is why you start in the middle rather than at the top. There is something to earn, and something to lose.

Sculpt Score is not a credit score and has nothing to do with your finances.

Scroll the frame—

Strength — it turns a locked state into a checklist with two items left, which is the difference between being told no and being told nearly. Publishing the weights before the number exists is the strongest version of the transparency argument: a user learns what the score measures while they still have nothing to defend.

Weakness — "Two more sessions and three more days" is doing arithmetic on the user's behalf that could read as pressure on someone who joined to train twice a week. The counters may be kinder than the headline.

Open — the fourth requirement is invisible here. A score also needs the Objective and Dimension model, which does not exist yet, so nothing on this screen is buildable until that lands.
