Cadence is the interval rhythm between starts, holds, reviews, and adaptation checkpoints.
Why it matters
Cadence that changes too quickly can create false signals and unstable recommendations.
Practical cadence intervals
- daily cadence for routine compounds
- weekly cadence for adaptation-heavy stacks
- monthly cadence for complex templates with safety dependencies
Too-fast cadence risks
When cycles are too short, variance dominates and recommendations may chase noise.
Template examples
- weekly review template: stability check, mild adjustments, adverse trend review
- monthly review template: objective metric comparison and reset decision
Detecting adaptation and fatigue
Look for:
- repeated diminishing returns after 2–3 cycles
- rising miss or symptom variance despite stable intent
- improved outcomes without adherence gains suggesting reporting drift
Practical action step
Keep one cadence plan for four weeks before deciding if a stack should continue or change structure.
Uncertainty and limits
- Evidence is limited on ideal cadence for all compound combinations.
- Evidence is limited on fatigue thresholds by individual sleep and stress patterns.

How this appears in Unfair
Cadence controls how often ranking and guardrails refresh, with too-fast patterns reducing confidence.
Clinical safety note
If rapid cycling worsens adverse signals, extend review windows and reduce complexity.
