Reading Your Analytics Dashboard

A plain-language guide to understanding every number, bar, and badge on your dashboard.

Your dashboard shows patterns in your practice data. This guide explains every element so you can make better decisions about your practice — no statistics degree required.

The big picture

The dashboard answers one question: what works for you?

It looks at your logged sessions and compares factors (techniques, supplements, sleep conditions) against each other. When you see a green bar next to "Rotation", it means sessions where you used Rotation went better than sessions where you didn't.

Success rate

The percentage of sessions that ended with a successful phase entry. If you logged 20 sessions and entered the phase in 5 of them, your success rate is 25%.

The baseline shown at the top is your overall success rate across all sessions in the selected time window.

Lift (the +/- number)

Lift is the core metric. It answers: "How much better (or worse) did I do with this factor compared to without it?"

  • +15.0pp means your success rate was 15 percentage points higher when this factor was present
  • -8.3pp means it was 8.3 percentage points lower
  • pp stands for "percentage points" — the raw difference between two rates

Example

You used WBTB in 10 sessions and succeeded in 4 (40%). You skipped WBTB in 10 sessions and succeeded in 1 (10%). The lift for WBTB is +30.0pp. That's a strong signal that WBTB helps you.

What lift is NOT

Lift does not prove that a factor caused better results. It shows a correlation. Maybe you use WBTB on weekends when you're also more rested. The dashboard helps you spot patterns — you interpret the "why".

The colored bars

The horizontal bar next to each factor visualizes the lift:

  • Green bar = positive lift (this factor is associated with better results)
  • Red bar = negative lift (associated with worse results)
  • Bar length = how strong the effect is
  • Bar opacity = how confident we are (see below)

A short, faded bar means a small effect with low confidence. A long, bright bar means a strong, reliable signal.

Confidence badges

The colored badge next to each factor tells you how much data is behind that number:

  • High (green) — 10+ sessions. This is a reliable signal. You can act on it.
  • Medium (amber) — 5-9 sessions. Promising pattern, but could still be noise. Keep logging.
  • Low (red) — fewer than 5 sessions. Too early to tell. Don't change your practice based on this alone.

The bar opacity also reflects confidence — low-confidence bars appear faded.

Confidence interval (CI)

The small numbers like CI 18.1%-55.8% show the range where your true success rate likely falls.

  • A narrow range (e.g., 35%-45%) means the estimate is precise
  • A wide range (e.g., 10%-70%) means there's a lot of uncertainty

The range gets narrower as you log more sessions. This is normal — more data = more precision.

You don't need to memorize these numbers. Just know: if the CI range is very wide, the lift number might change a lot as you log more sessions.

Correlation sections explained

Methods

Compares your intention-setting methods (Visualization, Words, Feeling). Which method leads to more successful sessions?

Techniques

Compares techniques used during attempts (Rotation, Phantom Rocking, Image Observation, etc.). Which techniques lead to more phase entries?

Note: techniques are measured at the attempt level (entry rate), not the session level. One session can have multiple attempts with different techniques.

Supplements

Compares supplements you've taken. If you log doses, the same supplement at different doses is tracked separately (e.g., "Magnesium @ 200mg" vs "Magnesium @ 400mg").

The "Observed span" shows how long you've been using a supplement, and "active now" means you've used it in the last 14 days.

Sleep Quality Impact

Groups your sessions by sleep quality score into three buckets:

  • Poor (1-4) — bad night's sleep
  • Moderate (5-7) — average
  • Good (8-10) — well rested

Shows whether better sleep leads to more successful practice for you personally.

Stress Level Impact

Same bucketing for stress:

  • Low (1-4) — calm day
  • Moderate (5-7) — normal stress
  • High (8-10) — high stress day

WBTB Effect

Directly compares sessions where you used Wake-Back-To-Bed vs sessions where you didn't. One of the most actionable metrics.

Time of Attempt

Groups attempts by the time they happened (in 3-hour blocks: 00-03, 03-06, etc.). Shows when your attempts are most likely to succeed. Most practitioners find 03-06 is the sweet spot — does your data agree?

Mood Before Session

Compares sessions by your pre-session mood (Calm, Stressed, Tired, Neutral). Helps you understand how your mental state affects results.

Top Technique + Supplement Combos

Shows the 5 best-performing pairwise combinations of a technique and a supplement. Useful for finding synergies: maybe Rotation works great, and Magnesium works great, but Rotation + Magnesium together works even better.

How to use this data

  1. Log consistently. The more sessions you log, the more reliable the numbers become. Aim for at least 10 sessions before drawing conclusions.

  2. Look for high-confidence, high-lift factors first. A green "high" badge with +20pp lift is a strong signal. Prioritize those factors.

  3. Don't over-optimize on low data. If a factor shows "low" confidence, keep using it but don't change your entire protocol based on it.

  4. Check contextual factors. Sleep quality and stress often have the biggest impact. If your "good sleep" bucket shows +30pp lift, the single best thing you can do might be improving sleep hygiene — not switching techniques.

  5. Revisit monthly. As you log more data, patterns become clearer and some early signals may reverse. What looked promising at n=5 might normalize at n=20.

  6. Use the time window. Switch between day/week/month views and adjust the date range to compare different periods of your practice.
