Dashboard Overview

The overview tab highlights streaks, best scores, and volatility. Use volatility to decide whether lifestyle variables are hurting consistency.

Color coding keeps things simple: green trending up, amber stable, red trending down. Hover for exact values and context tips.

Deep Dive into Each Metric

Reaction Time shows average, best, and variability. Memory games show span, retention rate, and error type. Hovering reveals percentile against your age cohort.

Use the comparison toggle to overlay two metrics (e.g., memory vs. reaction). Patterns reveal when improvements in one domain trade off with another.

Use Alerts & Tags

Create threshold alerts (e.g., “alert me if reaction time is >230 ms”). Pair alerts with tags like “travel”, “fasting”, or “competition” to contextualize spikes.

Tags build a personal knowledge graph so you know exactly why a number moved.
