How sure is Insights? Early sign, Taking shape, Clear pattern
What the three labels mean, and why Insights waits for enough days before calling something a pattern.
Every comparison in Insights carries a label, so a hint never looks like a fact.
- Early sign
- Seen on only a handful of days (fewer than 5 on the smaller side). A hint worth watching.
- Taking shape
- Seen across a couple of weeks of entries. Firmer as you keep logging.
- Clear pattern
- 12 or more days on each side, and a difference unlikely to be chance, even counting how many comparisons Insights makes.
The smaller side decides: 40 meditation days compared with 3 rest days is only as solid as those 3 days.
Insights compares many things at once (every feeling against every Day tag, every activity against every measure), and a few gaps would look large by chance alone. So the more it compares, the larger a difference has to be before it's called a Clear pattern.
Insights shows what goes together in your own days, not proof that one causes the other. A busy week can lower both your practice and your mood. Treat a pattern as a good question to keep watching, and see how sure Insights is.
