Consistency Score
Updated February 22, 2026
Consistency score is a practical indicator of how reliable your current routine is, combining timing consistency, adherence rate, and variance.
Why it matters
Scores help separate behavior signal from noise so recommendations stay relevant instead of reacting to each missed event.
How the score is built
- adherence rate: planned vs logged doses within your allowed window
- timing consistency: drift from target dose time
- variance stability: pattern regularity across windows
Confidence bands for interpretation
- 0–39: behavior is too irregular for strong conclusions; prioritize stabilization.
- 40–69: usable but unstable trend. Expect slower learning and cautious changes.
- 70+: stronger signal for recommendation behavior and outcome interpretation.
Practical interpretation
A small dip is expected after schedule stress, travel, or acute sleep disruption and is usually recoverable with re-alignment.
Do not treat one dip as failure; use a 72-hour recovery lens instead.
Cross-site references
Uncertainty
- Evidence is limited for exact cutoff values in all behavior contexts.
- Evidence is limited on how much missed-dose irregularity still supports reliable learning in complex stacks.
How this appears in Unfair
Unfair computes score updates from journal entries, reminder responses, and window adherence, then maps confidence into recommendation strength.
Clinical safety note
If low scores persist with severe symptoms, pause optimization goals and focus on risk reduction before stack intensification.
