What your model actually is
People expect a health app to hand them a number. Your Sarenica model is something quieter and more useful: a map of the handful of things your data actually supports, the ones it is still testing, and the honest gaps it has not closed.
Your model is a living map assembled only from analyses run on your own data — never a generic score.
Every link sits in one of three honest states: proven for you, testing now, or worth a try.
Each finding is a small story: notice, show the proof, say how sure, and offer to test it.
The model is allowed to say "I do not know yet" — and that is the feature, not a gap.

Why we tell you what we cannot prove
Most health apps sound certain. Sarenica is built to say "we do not know yet" - because for your own data, that is usually the honest answer. Here is the engine that keeps your model from lying to you.
Your model shows associations in your own data - links, not proven causes. We removed the word "confirmed" for exactly that reason.
Every link starts assumed-zero and has to earn its way up, so one lucky week cannot fake a pattern.

The only honest way to know if something actually helps you
Watching your data can show two things move together. It can never, on its own, tell you which one caused the other. The honest fix is a small randomized experiment on yourself - and that is the direction Sarenica is built to grow into.
Watching your data can show that two things move together. It cannot, alone, tell you which caused which.
Reverse causation and a hidden common cause make most personal correlations impossible to interpret from observation.

Monthly patterns vs weekly noise
Why weekly reports drift week to week, what monthly reports add, and how to tell a stable pattern from a one-off shift in your fatigue and focus data.
Weekly reports drift even when nothing real is changing.
Monthly reports filter the noise but cost you reaction speed.

What is in a daily Sarenica report
A daily Sarenica report is short, operational, and built for tomorrow morning. Here is exactly what it covers and how to use it.
Daily reports are operational; weekly reports are strategic.
The most useful field on a daily report is the worst-block reason.

Steps and calories as activity context
Why Sarenica reads step count and calorie burn as context for fatigue, even though it is not a fitness app, and how activity volume shapes next-day focus.
Sarenica is not a fitness tracker; activity data is read as context.
Low-step days correlate with worse next-day focus more often than people expect.

Sleep, recovery, and next-day focus explained
How Sarenica joins wearable sleep, recovery, and HRV data to next-day focus and fatigue patterns. What sleep hours alone will and will not tell you.
Sleep hours alone is a weak predictor of next-day focus; sleep score and recovery do better.
The join between sleep and next-day focus is most reliable in the 7-8 hour bucket.

Reading your weekly progress report
A weekly report is one decision, not a dashboard. Here is how to read each section so you actually leave with one.
The confidence band is load-bearing. Read it first; everything else is conditional on it.
Three numbers worth remembering: best block, riskiest hour, top driver.
