How Peak Coach works for you

Home opens to a time-of-day greeting and a Start Check-In button. Below it sits the Coach Card — one card that explains today's signal first and prescribes one tool second.

The Coach Card is unified by design. The interpretive context (why this matters today) appears above the prescribed action (what to do). Free and Paid tiers see template-based context built from your check-in patterns; Premium and above receive AI-generated briefs with voice playback. The coaching reasoning runs on your device — your methodology and personal signals aren’t sent off-device to write your card.

If you’re paired with a Leader or Engineer, your coach may briefly reference a recent observation they logged — the same note you can already see in your observation inbox. This stays on your device (it is never sent to any cloud AI), only recent notes qualify, and anything outside performance coaching territory is never voiced by the coach — it stays in the inbox for a human conversation. If your Engineer has assigned you a protocol, your coach knows about it too: the daily move is chosen to complement your Engineer’s plan, never to compete with it.

One more privacy note: if you shared during onboarding that you’ve worked with a therapist or counselor, that answer is used for exactly one thing — softening how the app points you toward professional support in a heavy moment, framing it as returning to support rather than being sent away. The answer itself never leaves your device and is never given to any AI model.

The card also follows your day in chapters. The morning card sets the tone; it moves on when something real changes — you log your check-in, you complete the prescribed move, an event enters its final-approach window, or the evening arrives and the card closes the day’s loop. Later chapters continue the same thread (the evening card knows what the morning card asked of you), and if nothing has changed the card stays put — it never reshuffles just because you reopened the app. The 7 PM reminder speaks the same card: if a move is still open, that’s what the notification says.

Below the Coach Card: an Events section (proximity coaching activates when you log an event), a 21-day reassessment card when due, and active goals carried in from the Me tab.

Goals and events are linked. Give a goal a target date — the Goal Blueprint asks for one on your optimal goal and offers one per milestone — and that deadline lands on your calendar as a real, editable event: it gets the same reminder chain as any event you create, and your coach works from the goal’s true distance as it approaches. Completion flows both ways: mark the event complete and the goal completes with it; check off the goal and its event closes and remaining reminders are cancelled.

When you create or edit an event, an optional “If it goes sideways” field captures your recovery plan — one line on how you’ll reset if execution breaks down mid-event. On event day your coach voices your own plan back to you; it doesn’t invent one.

Tapping Start Check-In opens the Mental Readiness flow. Five timed segments, ~5 minutes total. After the last segment, the app routes you to the highest-leverage training available today.

Three of the segments are short brain games — one for speed, one for attention, one for memory — and the check-in uses the same three games every time. A measurement has to compare like with like: a fixed instrument is what makes your day-to-day trend mean something. Variety lives in the Games tab, where the full set of games is for training.

Every game result shows the level it was measured at (like 82 @ L4) — an 80 at Level 5 is a stronger performance than an 80 at Level 2. New games find your level in the first few plays, and those finding-your-level rounds never count against your readiness.

Once the app has seen a handful of your check-ins, each game score is measured against your normal — your own typical day, which sits at 75 on the scale. Above 75 means sharper than usual; below means running under your usual. You’re compared to yourself, not to anyone else. If a level turns out to be beyond your range, the game steps back one and says so; if a reading lands far outside what’s plausible for you, it’s flagged as “looks off” — kept in your history, excluded from your score — with one optional 30-second retest offered.

Flagged readings stay visible in your history too. On the Track tab, the Readiness Trend marks any day containing a flagged reading with a small dot under its bar — tap the bar and the day’s card explains what happened: one flagged reading pulling the day down, a genuinely low day across the board, or a day when the app was still calibrating your baseline. Some older days are flagged retroactively (readings taken at unfairly high levels before the difficulty engine was fixed); past scores are never rewritten — the labels are there so your trend reads honestly.

The score and the call are separate on purpose. The number (say, 87) is the measurement — how you performed on today’s check-in. The call word (Peak / Training / Recovery) is the verdict, and it can be gated below the number: a core read in the red, or body-and-mind signals running under your own baseline, will pull a strong score down to a Recover day. Hidden fatigue is real — testing sharp doesn’t rule it out. When a gate demotes the call, the result banner turns amber, never alarm-red on a high number — the score is real; the call stepped down — with a one-line connector that names the actual signals that pulled it: HRV or sleep with your real numbers against your baseline, or reaction speed, attention, memory, or your own self-report by name. And the verdict is reconciled everywhere it appears: Home, the check-in result screen, and the Track gauge always show the same call for the same morning.

The result screen ends with one recommended move — the same engine behind your Coach Card’s daily pick reads today’s fresh sub-scores and surfaces the tool with the most leverage right now. On a Recover day it prefers a gentle regulation tool, or offers nothing rather than prescribing effort. It mirrors the Card’s authority instead of competing with it; when no move fits, the button becomes View Your Trends and opens Track.

The check-in feeds the Readiness Score gauge on Track and contributes to the MIND status a paired Leader sees on their roster.

Two sub-tabs. All Tools shows every tool in your tier, grouped by quadrant (DRIVE, FOCUS, REGULATION, EXECUTION). Assigned to Me shows tools your paired Leader or Engineer has pushed to you.

Tool cards show name, tier badge (Free, Paid, or Premium), a one-line description, and a time estimate. Tools above your current tier remain readable so the catalog is legible — opening one surfaces the tier requirement, not the tool itself.

Three tier gates exist: Free is included on every account; Paid (ReFrame, $19/mo) unlocks the full toolset across all four areas — Drive, Focus, Regulation, and Execution; Premium ($39/mo) adds the Visualization Library, the Precision Training Diagnostic, and the AI Daily Brief. A Leader pairing covers the Premium delta — your $19/mo plus their $79/mo Group Rate gives you Premium access for as long as the pairing is active.

Track answers one question: am I getting better? Three gauges sit at the top, each measuring a different dimension of readiness.

Body Readiness is biological. Sleep, HRV, resting heart rate, recovery — sourced from HealthKit and Oura. Shows a dash until you connect a wearable. Tap the BODY tile and the Body Score card opens: your score with a body-domain band word — Fully Recovered, Recovered, Recovering, Run Down, or Depleted — and today’s vitals, each with a delta against your own typical (a rolling median of your recent readings, the same baseline the daily model judges you against). A delta only appears where enough of your history exists to compute a baseline, and when a vital runs genuinely under your typical an amber note names it with the real numbers. The card is body-only by design: it reports your body’s recovery state and never the day’s readiness call — that explanation lives on the Readiness scorecard.

Where the numbers come from. An Apple Watch, an Oura Ring, and your iPhone each write HRV, heart rate, and sleep into Apple Health, and Peak Coach reads them there — so every source label in the app reads “Apple Health” (or “Oura” when a ring is the writer). Peak Coach has no device-specific integration of its own; it reads whatever your devices have already written. A dedicated Peak Coach app on your Apple Watch — on-wrist readiness and watch-face complications — plus home-screen widgets are coming soon; for now the wearable’s job is to feed Apple Health, which it already does, so your readiness numbers are live today.

Four honesty mechanics on that card are worth knowing. Your morning read is the score of record: the first full read of the day (sleep plus at least two vitals) locks in the score you saw — later syncs keep the vitals fresh but never move the number, and the only re-read is a missing vital arriving. The coverage line says what the read is built on — “Based on HRV, sleep & resting HR,” or “Based on 2 of 3 vitals — no HRV” with an amber PARTIAL READ tag; a thinner read scores conservatively, and a missing vital never counts as zero. A material day-over-day move gets named — “down from 98 yesterday,” measured against the score you actually saw, consecutive days only. And HRV is read from your sleep window only, the way recovery wearables do it — so the first week after this change (or after a new wearable) shows the HRV leg as calibrating while your overnight baseline builds, and a day with only daytime samples honestly reads “no HRV” instead of borrowing daytime numbers.

More than one wearable? It captures from all of them. Apple Watch, Oura, and WHOOP each feed in, and for every night Peak Coach uses the device it can score most confidently — usually the one you wear most consistently — comparing each against its own baseline so different sensors are never mixed. When two or more devices agree on the night, the card says so; that agreement is what makes a reading trustworthy, and when they disagree it leans on your most consistent device and tells you. You never have to choose, but a specific source can be set in Settings → Health & Wearables. Any tile on the card — HRV, resting HR, sleep, heart rate, and, when your device records them overnight, Respiratory Rate and Blood Oxygen — opens its own 7/14/31-day history.

Where it’s heading, not just where it is. Beyond today’s number, the card watches the direction of your recovery over several days — across HRV, resting heart rate, breathing rate, and overnight temperature — and when those signals line up and your devices agree, it gives you a forward-looking heads-up so you can act in time: go lighter, or move a hard session to a window you’ll actually be primed for. Overnight breathing rate and temperature often move first, a day or two before you feel it. You only see the line on a real multi-day trend backed by more than one signal — a single noisy day won’t trigger it — and it never shows a raw number, only the direction and a suggestion. Your coach reads the same trajectory to shape how hard it points you that day.

Readiness Score is neurological. Derived from your most recent Readiness Check-In. Drives the MIND column on a paired Leader's roster. The level word on this gauge is the reconciled call — the same verdict the check-in result screen and Home show, gates included — so Track can never call a Recover-gated morning “Peak.”

Deployment Score is what you actually deploy under pressure. Your self-rating (the chips on Track) carries it until a Leader rating exists; once it does, the Leader rating carries the score. You'll still see both as “Self X · Leader Y,” and the gap between them is useful signal in its own right.

Below the gauges, a Window of Tolerance card is always visible just above the Performance Dial: a Hypo / Inside / Hyper bar with a marker showing where today’s check-in placed your activation state. The marker slides continuously within your zone to show how close you are to an edge — not just which zone you’re in — so a calm, low-energy day sits lower in the band and a keyed-up day sits higher, and when you’re leaning toward an edge a small cue beside the zone chip names it (for example “Inside · near Hyper edge”). The zone word stays the authoritative read; the marker only adds nearness and can never cross into a neighbouring zone. When you’re sitting comfortably in the middle no edge cue is shown, and if a check-in didn’t capture enough of your energy and stress to place you precisely, the marker honestly falls back to the centre of your zone rather than inventing a lean. Inside the window is where trained skills deploy; Hypo and Hyper are the two directions they slip. No check-in yet today → the card says so and offers the check-in; it never guesses a zone.

Under it, the Performance Dial is a 2x2 grid showing 7-day trajectory per quadrant. Below that, the App-Calculated panel shows your sustained level (Levels 1–10) — the slow-moving read on architecture, not today's reading.

The Performance Scan card on Track opens the assessment surface. Three depths exist:

• Performance Dial — rolling reading on Track. Updates from your sessions, games, and check-ins.
• Performance Scan — your latest assessment (Drive, Focus, Regulation, Execution, each 0–100). The results card leads with a plain-language read of where you stand, names your lowest lever only when one is genuinely holding you back, and gives you one next step. If every area is at or above your level, it tells you that too — and points you at raising the stakes rather than inventing a weakness.
• Deep Performance Scan (Full Performance Profile) — a deeper full assessment with targeted tool recommendations. Reached from the results card's next-step button.

Your Scan is the snapshot from the assessment; your Dial is the live reading that keeps moving between scans. The card shows you, in one line, when the two have drifted apart — and stays quiet when they agree. The 21-day reassessment reminder fires on Home automatically when 21+ days have passed since your last scan.

Your performance signature. Once you’ve completed a Sub-Domain Module (the deepest scan), the results card also shows a signature graphic of your sub-skills — the shape of where you’re sharpest and the one with the most room. It names your edges in plain language and points you at your next lift with the tool for it. This is where the picture gets specific to you, even when your surface score is at ceiling. Premium unlocks the full breakdown of all 28 sub-skills, grouped into four collapsible system sections — Drive, Focus, Regulation, and Execution — each with the system’s average in its header and a plain-language description of what that system does. The section holding your limiter opens expanded and wears a MOST ROOM pill; every sub-skill carries a one-line meaning, and the “Where you’ll gain the most” block names the limiter precisely — what it means, its system and score, and how it sits against the rest of that system.

18 short cognitive drills. Each game maps to one or more quadrants and feeds the Performance Dial on Track. Filter chips: All, DRIVEN, FOCUSED, REGULATED, EXECUTE. This is the training surface — games here adapt upward as you improve, stepping back whenever a level proves beyond your range. (The daily check-in uses a fixed set of three games instead, so its readings stay comparable — see Readiness Check-In above.)

The Games tab uses the past-tense state form (DRIVEN / FOCUSED / REGULATED / EXECUTE) while Track uses the noun form (DRIVE / FOCUS / REGULATION / EXECUTION). Same four quadrants — Track labels capacity, Games labels achieved state.

Pressure Mode is a Settings toggle under Brain Games. When on, games briefly flash a red overlay during play to simulate stress. The mechanism is stress inoculation — training cognition to hold under sudden disruption. Off by default; choose Mild, Moderate, or Intense once it's on.

The Me tab is the longest screen in the app. The profile header shows your avatar, name, email, tier badge, and account code. Below it: Edit profile (a 5-step editor), Subscription, Limiter Words, My Practice (Journal + Goals), My Team (pairings), Achievements, Refer a Performer, and a Settings card at the bottom.

Settings opens a separate screen covering Training Mode (Automated or Self-Guided), Coaching, Brain Games, Appearance (Light / Dark / System), AI & Voice (Coach Voice, voice picker — Rob or Erin — and Voice Input), Health & Wearables, Team & Notifications, and Privacy & Research.

More than one account on one device. You can add and switch between several accounts from Settings; switching restores that account’s own data — your history is not lost. If a switch finds your saved session has expired, the app asks you to sign in to that account again; the account is not deleted or removed, it just needs a fresh sign-in. Each account keeps its own game progress and levels, so a second account starts its brain-game ladder from placement rather than inheriting another account’s levels.

A Leader or Engineer generates an 8-character pairing code from their portal. They send the code or QR/share link directly. Tap My Team → Connect on the Me tab and enter the code, or follow the share link from your phone. You also have your own connect code others can use to reach you.

After confirmation, the pairing appears in My Team. Your tier upgrades to Premium for the duration of the pairing under a Leader's Group Rate, or to full feature access under an Engineer.

The Performer's Track tab averages the most recent Deployment rating from each paired Leader if you have more than one. You can be paired with a Leader and an Engineer at the same time without conflict.

Four consent flags on your profile gate which sections of your detail page populate for a paired Leader or Engineer.

• Share Readiness — daily check-in scores, Readiness Score, Body Readiness. On by default.
• Share Assessments — Performance Scan and Deep Performance Scan results. On by default.
• Share Tool Progress — tool completion history and scores. On by default.
• Share Goals — goal blueprint, BTE 3C structure, Goal Reality Check results. Off by default.

Toggle any flag at any time. The change applies on your professional's next page load. When a flag is off, that section reads "Performer has not opted to share this data."
