Patterns
Empty States
Empty means the system is learning. Cards keep their eyebrow, say what they're waiting for, name the threshold, and offer the feeding action. The threshold ladder paces the first weeks as a sequence of unlocks.
Today's Focus
Learning your patterns
A few more logged days and Peri can estimate your recovery capacity.
Rules
- 01Cards never disappear and never show dashes or zeros.
- 02“Learning your patterns” is the canonical voice.
- 03Name thresholds: 3 entries (trends) · 5 (what-next, focus) · 14 (playbooks) · 2 period starts (cycle).
- 04The feeding action uses the tint button, not the gradient CTA.
Examples
First week
Day 1: everything in learning mode. Day 3: trends appear. Day 5: focus goes live. Day 14: the playbook speaks. Each unlock teaches what feeds it.
