How Peak Coach works for you
Peak Coach diagnoses where mental performance breaks down under pressure and surfaces the tools that address it. This page covers what every screen does, what the system is doing behind it, and how the product moves you toward independence rather than indefinite use.
Tier: Free → ReFrame ($19/mo) → Performance ($39/mo)
Quick start
- Create your account on web at app.peakmindmechanics.com or in the iOS app. Email and password, Google, or Apple — same account works on both surfaces.
- Complete onboarding. About 8 minutes across five sections. Every answer feeds the prescription engine — domain, performance environment, coaching relationship, history, and presenting complaint.
- Take the Performance Scan. Self-administered, ~7 minutes, no charge. Produces your first read on the four ReFrame quadrants.
- Open today's prescribed tool from the Train tab. The system selects from your lowest-scoring quadrant. Sessions run 3–10 minutes.
- Check in daily from the Home tab. The Readiness Check-In takes about five minutes. It feeds the Readiness Score on Track and the MIND status visible to any paired Leader.
The five tabs
Peak Coach has the same five tabs on web and mobile: Home, Train, Track, Games, Me. Each owns a specific function — no tab borrows another's primary content.
Home — your daily landing surface
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.
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.
Readiness Check-In
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.
The check-in feeds the Readiness Score gauge on Track and contributes to the MIND status a paired Leader sees on their roster.
Train — the tool library
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 Q1–Q4 toolset; 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 — three readiness gauges and the Performance Dial
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.
Readiness Score is neurological. Derived from your most recent Readiness Check-In. Drives the MIND column on a paired Leader's roster.
Deployment Score is architectural — what you actually deploy under pressure. Filled by either a Leader observation or your own self-rating. When both exist, the Leader rating weights 60% and your self-assessment weights 40%; when only one exists, that input is 100% of the gauge.
Below the gauges, 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.
Performance Scan — three depths of assessment
The Performance Scan card on Track opens the assessment surface. Three depths exist:
- Performance Dial — rolling 7-day reading on Track. Updates from your sessions, games, and check-ins.
- Performance Scan — /100 overall plus /25 per quadrant. Shows the breakdown pattern and since-last-scan deltas.
- Deep Performance Scan (Full Performance Profile) — 32-point deep assessment with targeted tool recommendations. Reached from the "Ready to close the gap?" CTA.
The 21-day reassessment reminder fires on Home automatically when 21+ days have passed since your last scan.
Games — cognitive training
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.
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.
Me — profile, subscription, and Settings
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.
How pairing works
Pairing with a Leader or Engineer is what activates Deployment Score and the Assigned to Me sub-tab. The flow is identical regardless of which professional reaches you.
Receiving a pairing code
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.
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.
What your professional sees — consent flags
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."
Your journey
The product is designed to make you capable of independence, not to retain you indefinitely. Three sections explain how the system reads your progress and what graduation does.
Graduation
How do I know I'm progressing?
The App-Calculated panel on Track surfaces a sustained level per quadrant on a 1–10 scale, with a HIGH / MID / LOW band badge. Levels move slowly — one bad day does not drop a level.
The system promotes one quadrant at a time. The canonical order is Q3 (Regulated) → Q1 (Driven) → Q2 (Focused) → Q4 (Execute), reflecting that nervous-system regulation is the substrate other quadrant work depends on. The order can override when the data warrants it.
When a quadrant clears all four integrity gates (next section), the system shows a graduation card and the next quadrant becomes active. Tools tied to the completed quadrant remain accessible. Regression re-promotes a Q-complete quadrant to active — the system maintains the integrity of the graduation signal rather than locking a moment in.
Graduation
Preparing to graduate — the four integrity gates
Graduation is gated, not permissive. Four checks must all pass before the system promotes a quadrant or whole-user graduation triggers.
- Score threshold. Construct score ≥ 3.5 sustained across three consecutive weekly windows. Three weeks beats one good week.
- Evidence count. Tier-required tools for the active quadrant completed at quality ≥ 0.6. Quality is a system-computed score, not user-rated.
- Convergent sources. Self-report, behavioral signal, and (where available) Leader or Engineer ratings agree.
- Trend verification. No regression detected by the Bridge in the rolling window. No active Engineer push.
Most users sustain three-week stability windows over months, not weeks. There is no fixed timeline. When all four quadrants clear the gates and the weighted Deep Performance Scan composite is ≥ 3.5 with no individual construct below 3.0, the three-screen Graduation Sequence triggers: status summary, alumni offering, tune-up pathway.
Your account stays active after graduation. Daily check-ins become optional. Your tier remains active until you change it. Alumni-only tools become available.
Graduation
Returning for tune-up
The Monthly Tune-Up is a Premium-tier alumni-only tool. Once-monthly cadence by default. Tune-Up is the alumni reactivation path — not failure, regression, or backslide.
Reactivation is trigger-anchored. A significant performance event, a life transition, or moving into a new domain (an athletics alumnus stepping into a leadership role) re-engages you without restarting onboarding. Your baseline scores, BTE goal history, and tool-completion record persist across the alumni period.
Alumni status does not change tier. If you downgrade to Free, alumni status persists; Tune-Up access requires Premium.
