The readiness score explained

Every morning Partnexa asks four things: how you slept, how sore you are, how stressed you feel, and how much energy you have. Ten seconds of input, one number out.

Why subjective questions work

You'd think a wearable would be more accurate. In practice, how you feel is a strong signal — and unlike a wearable, it's available to everyone, requires no charging, and reflects the things a wrist sensor can't see, like a hard week at work.

What the score does

The score sorts your day into a band, and the band changes today's session:

• Green — run the session as written. Push the top sets.
• Amber — main work stays, top-end intensity is trimmed, accessory volume drops.
• Red — the hard session moves. You get a restore block: mobility, easy movement, breathing.

Red days are not lost days

This is the part people get wrong. A red day where you do the restore block is a productive day — it keeps your streak, it keeps your habits, and it protects the session you'd otherwise have wrecked.

Training hard on an empty tank doesn't make you tougher. It just moves the good session further away.

Reading the trend, not the day

One low score means nothing. Five in ten days means something. The trend line is where the useful information lives: a slow decline across a block usually means accumulated fatigue, poor sleep, or life load — and it usually shows up two weeks before you consciously notice it.

How to answer honestly

• Answer before checking your email, not after.
• Rate sleep by how you feel, not by hours in bed.
• Stress means total load — work, family, everything, not just training.

What it feeds

Your readiness feeds progression decisions (see RPE and adaptive progression), your restore recommendations, and your block review's average-readiness trend.
