Read the metric definition
A routine change often alters goals, recording frequency, and daily context at the same time. Those differences matter when you compare older and newer sessions.
Inspect the contributing records
Check the saved protocol on each record, read any relevant notes, and compare actual durations separately from goal markers. Identify gaps or archive choices that change the dataset.
Bar heights are scaled against the largest daily value in the current view, with a minimum scale. Read numeric labels for comparisons across different screenshots; visual height alone is not a stable unit.
Check the relevant distinction
A higher percentage of goal-met records after lowering a goal can be a direct consequence of the new threshold. It does not independently establish a change in an underlying health measure.
| Check | Practical meaning |
|---|---|
| Actual time | Compare durations directly |
| Goal markers | Account for changed thresholds |
Interpret within the data limits
Use the comparison to understand the ledger and your practical preferences. Avoid claiming that one altered variable caused a result when several things changed together.
