The system

Three domains shape what holds.

The lowest current domain may constrain the complete system — but it remains a hypothesis to test against behaviour and context, not a diagnosis or verdict.

01

Body

Usable energy, recovery and the physical capacity to carry the real workload.

02

Mental command

Notice pressure early, regain focus and decide without avoidable rumination.

03

Direction

Set explicit priorities and boundaries so effort remains aligned with what matters.

Interpretation

Use the score as a signal.

Each domain is the mean of three 1–5 self-ratings. The overall score is the mean of the three domains. Use the band to choose what to test next.

1.0–2.49Capacity leakStabilise the likely constraint before adding load.
2.5–3.69Inconsistent reserveChoose one lever and test it under normal pressure.
3.7–5.0Workable reserveProtect the reserve and test whether it holds at the peak.
