Why we tell you what we cannot prove
Your model is a map of what your own data has actually verified - not a pile of confident-sounding claims. It shows associations, never proven causes; it starts every link assumed-zero and makes it earn its place; and when it cannot prove something, it says so. That restraint is the product, not a limitation of it.
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.
At realistic amounts of data, most personal effects can never be confirmed - and that honest "not yet" is the correct answer.
The only honest way to prove something helps you is a small randomized experiment on yourself.

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.

Change attribution: what shifted, not what caused
How Sarenica's change attribution layer reads week-over-week shifts and decides what likely contributed, with an explicit confidence band.
Attribution names contributors, not causes.
Confidence escalates only when at least two metrics agree on the direction.

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.

How to review low-energy windows with Hydrogen
A simple workflow for spotting repeated low-energy windows and turning them into better follow-up questions.
Repeated windows matter more than one-off bad hours.
Hydrogen gets stronger when you ask about recurrence, not isolated dips.

Best Hydrogen prompts for work-pattern analysis
Prompt patterns that work better than vague fatigue questions once your Sarenica baseline is ready.
Prompt quality improves more from structure than from length.
A time window and a comparison target are usually enough.
