Everything it does,
and nothing it doesn't.

Seven parts, no more: a chart, ten stages, a dose, a test day, a reminder in your words, sessions in your iCloud, a verdict.

Sessions against the standard

Each bar is one session's best set. The dashed line is the standard, 30 s. No metaphor, just the chart.
