Patterns
Pattern vs Insight
A pattern is a relationship the system notices — neutral, no recommendation. An insight is a pattern that has meaning: it answers “so what?” and is backed by medium/high confidence. The stats row counts them separately, and the copy never blurs the line.

What has sleep taught me?
Rules
- 01Pattern: neutral observation. “Brain fog often follows poor sleep.”
- 02Insight: meaning attached. “Sleep affects your clarity more than your energy.”
- 03Patterns found = all detected items, any confidence.
- 04Insights learned = medium/high-confidence items only.
- 05Eligibility: observed ≥ 3 times AND rate ≥ 60%. Confidence: Low 3–4 · Medium 5–8 · High 9+ observations.
Examples
Stats row
“42 days logged · 11 patterns found · 4 insights learned” — the gap between 11 and 4 is honesty made visible.
Anti-patterns
What breaks this pattern
- Calling every detected correlation an insight.
- Recommending off a 3-observation pattern.
Do
- ·Show evidence counts in expanded rows
- ·Let users see all patterns, weakly held ones included
Don't
- ·Inflate the insight count
- ·Attach actions to low-confidence patterns
