Growth Loop — Product Documentation¶

The execution engine that turns your Life Blueprint into daily habits, weekly reflections, and 90-day sprints.

Version 1.0 · Last updated April 2026 Route: /growth-loop · Page: DailyGrowthPage.tsx Gate: requires Discovery + Life Design completed + paid plan Unlocks: Relationship Lens (with extra conditions)

1. What Is the Growth Loop?¶

The Growth Loop is the third stage of the MindMeditate Personality System — where your plan becomes your behaviour.

The Personality Test tells you who you are. Life Design tells you where you're going. Growth Loop is how you actually get there.

It's a self-reinforcing cycle:

Daily Habit Check-ins → Weekly Reflection → 90-Day Cycle Review → Recalibrate
     ↑                                                                   │
     └───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

Each layer feeds the next: today's habit ticks feed this week's reflection; this week's reflection feeds this month's habit score; this month's score feeds the 90-day audit; the audit recalibrates the habits — and the loop restarts.

2. Where It Sits in the Journey¶

Personality Test  →  Self Mastery  →  Life Design  →  Growth Loop  →  People Blueprint
   (Who)             (Insight)        (Direction)     (Execution)    (Relationships)

Stage	Output
Personality Test	Archetype + Force + Secondary
Self Mastery	Coach-style reflection on your profile
Life Design	Vision, Ikigai, pillars, strategic habits, capability gap
Growth Loop	Streaks, weekly intentions, cycle reviews, habit mastery
People Blueprint	How you show up with partners, teams, family

Growth Loop consumes everything Life Design produced: - strategicHabits → auto-seeded into the Habit Tracker - strategicThreats → revisited in each sprint phase - pillars.anchors → shown as "Alignment Anchors" during weekly reflection - vision + mission → shown as the "North Star" banner - capabilityGap → tracked across the 60-Day Capability Review

3. The Four Tabs¶

#	Tab	Purpose	Icon
1	Overview	Dashboard view — streak, SMART goal progress, weekly challenge, trends	📊 BarChart3
2	Habit Tracker	Daily check-in grid for strategic + freeform habits	✅ CheckCircle2
3	Weekly Reflection	3-question review + alignment score	📈 Activity
4	Cycle Reviews	90-day sprint with 3 phased check-ins (Day 30/60/90)	🔄 RefreshCw

Tab 1 — Overview¶

Purpose. The command centre. Everything you need to see at a glance: am I on track?

What it shows: - Streak banner — current streak count + freezes available (see §5) - Weekly intention — focus, why, and 3 actions for this ISO week (see §4) - Weekly challenge — one archetype-tailored challenge per week, seeded from weeklyChallenges.json. Resets each ISO week. - SMART goal progress per pillar — slider (0–100%) + note per pillar, pulling goal text from profile.lifeDesign.pillars[*] - Alignment trend chart — last 10 weekly reflections plotted (alignment + habit scores) - Day-in-cycle counter — where you are in the current 90-day sprint (0–89)

Why it's tab 1. It forces the user to see the state before they log anything — no ambiguity about how they're doing.

Tab 2 — Habit Tracker¶

Purpose. Daily check-in of all active habits. The mechanism that produces the streak.

Habit sources:

Source	Origin	Label
Strategic	Auto-imported from `lifeDesign.strategicHabits` — each paired to a `threat`	🎯 "Strategic" badge
Freeform	User-added from within the tracker	(no badge)

Every strategic habit carries its parent threat with it — the user sees "Phone in drawer 9pm–9am" alongside "Threat: Weekend scrolling kills my business momentum." This pairing (from Life Design) is what makes the habit feel non-negotiable.

Daily interaction: - 7-day grid per habit (today + previous 6 days) - Click a day → toggles completedDates for that habit - Optional why field per habit — shown as a reminder when checking in

Habit mastery: When a habit has been held long enough, the user clicks 🏅 "Mastered". The habit moves to a separate Mastered Habits section (archived but visible), freeing mental load. masteredAt timestamp is stored.

Streak logic: A day counts as "active" if at least one habit was completed that day. Streaks are computed via computeStreak() in utils/gamification.ts.

Tab 3 — Weekly Reflection¶

Purpose. Convert 7 days of doing into 1 moment of seeing. Qualitative + quantitative.

The 3 questions (fixed):

#	Question	Function
1	What went well this week? (Achievements)	Evidence collection — trains the user to notice wins
2	What was challenging? (Obstacles)	Honest diagnosis — surfaces what's in the way
3	What is your primary focus for next week?	Forward commitment — seeds next week's intention

Two sliders:

Metric	Range	What it means
Alignment Score	0–100%	"How aligned did this week feel with my 5-year vision and chosen path?"
Habit Score	auto-calculated	Derived from habit completion ratio across the week

North Star banner. Before writing, the user sees their Life Design vision and mission quoted at the top. No writing in a vacuum.

Alignment Anchors. If Life Design pillar anchors exist, they're shown as a reminder grid — "Career: a team that ships fast and values craft" — grounding the alignment slider in something concrete.

Gating. All 3 questions must be filled to save. No empty reflections.

Output. Appends to profile.growthLoop.weeklyReflections[] with:

{ date, weekKey, q1, q2, q3, alignmentScore, habitScore }

Tab 4 — Cycle Reviews (90-Day Sprint)¶

Purpose. The long-horizon audit. Weeks can lie; quarters don't.

See §6 for the full sprint mechanic.

Summary: - 3 phases in a sprint — Day 30 / Day 60 / Day 90 - Each phase is a different lens on the same habits - Phase 3 (Day 90) forces a full recalibration — threats reviewed, habits graded, capability gap assessed

4. The Weekly Intention¶

Set at the start of each ISO week (e.g. 2026-W15) and stored in profile.currentWeekIntention.

Fields:

Field	Meaning
`focus`	The single thing that matters this week
`why`	Why it matters this week (ties back to vision)
`actions[3]`	Three concrete actions that would make it real
`weekKey`	ISO week identifier (auto-computed)

Lifecycle: - Appears editable at week start - Locks (display-only) once saved — user can explicitly "Edit" to change - Auto-resets to empty when weekKey changes (new week)

Why three actions, not one: One action is too binary (did it / didn't). Three creates a pattern — you almost always hit 1 or 2, which is the signal of a real week, not the pass/fail of a perfectionist week.

5. Streaks, Milestones & Gamification¶

Streak definition. A day counts if at least one habit was checked. The streak counter increments for consecutive active days. Computed by computeStreak().

Streak freezes. Limited "get out of jail" tokens. A missed day consumes a freeze instead of breaking the streak — but freezes are capped.

Milestones. isStreakMilestone(n) fires on 7, 14, 21, 30, 60, 90 days. Each milestone: - Awards XP via applyXp() - Computes new badges via computeNewBadges() - Triggers a celebration modal (showCelebration: 'streak' | 'map')

XP & badges. Feed the shared gamification system used across Personality Test, Life Design, and Growth Loop. Non-mandatory — users can ignore and still benefit from the loop.

6. The 90-Day Sprint in Depth¶

The core insight: the same habit means something different at Day 30, Day 60, and Day 90. A sprint walks the user through all three lenses.

Phase timeline¶

Day	Phase	Colour	What the user does
30	Habit Check-in	Indigo	Rate consistency per habit. Mostly quantitative. "Did I do it?"
60	Capability Review	Emerald	Same habits, deeper lens. Assess skill growth + capability gap progress. "Am I getting better?"
90	Alignment Audit	Orange	Full recalibration. Did each habit actually neutralise the threat it was designed for? "Did it work?"

Per-phase inputs¶

Every phase captures:

Field	Type	Phase 30	Phase 60	Phase 90
`habitConsistency`	0–100% slider	✅	✅	✅
`habitReviews[]`	per-habit 1–5 rating + note + mastered flag	"Did I do it?"	"Am I getting better?"	"Did it neutralise the threat?"
`capabilityGapStatus`	not_started / in_progress / mastered	—	✅ focus	✅
`capabilityGapNote`	free text	—	✅	✅
`alignmentRecalibration`	free text	—	—	✅
`trend`	upward / stable / downward	✅	✅	✅
`smartGoalChecks`	per-pillar checkbox	✅	✅	✅

Day 90 special layers¶

At Day 90, the Threat Watchlist from lifeDesign.swot.threats is re-displayed. The user must ask: "For each strategic habit — did it successfully mitigate its paired threat, or is the threat still active?"

This is the point where ineffective habits are retired, and new threats (that surfaced in the last 90 days) get new paired habits.

Output¶

Each completed phase is stored in profile.growthLoop.monthlyReviews[]:

{
  date, phase: 30|60|90,
  habitConsistency, habitReviews[],
  capabilityGapStatus, capabilityGapNote,
  alignmentRecalibration, trend,
  smartGoalChecks
}

7. Data Model¶

Growth Loop writes to profile.growthLoop (MongoDB). Key shapes (from GrowthLoopTypes.ts and api/db):

interface Habit {
  id: string;
  name: string;
  frequency: string;          // 'daily' for strategic imports
  completedDates: string[];   // ISO dates 'YYYY-MM-DD'
  masteredAt?: string;        // ISO date when user marked mastered
  why?: string;               // optional reminder text
}

interface WeeklyReflection {
  date: Timestamp;
  weekKey: string;            // e.g. '2026-W15'
  q1: string; q2: string; q3: string;
  alignmentScore: number;     // 0–100
  habitScore: number;         // 0–100, auto-computed
}

interface MonthlyReview {     // "sprint phase review"
  date: Timestamp;
  phase: 30 | 60 | 90;
  habitConsistency: number;
  habitReviews: HabitReviewEntry[];
  capabilityGapStatus: 'not_started' | 'in_progress' | 'mastered';
  capabilityGapNote: string;
  alignmentRecalibration: string;
  trend: 'upward' | 'stable' | 'downward';
  smartGoalChecks: Record<string, boolean>;
}

// on the profile root:
profile.growthLoop = {
  habits: Habit[],
  weeklyReflections: WeeklyReflection[],
  monthlyReviews: MonthlyReview[],
  weeklyChallenge: { weekKey, completed: boolean },
  smartGoalProgress: Record<pillar, { progress: number; note: string; updatedAt }>,
  streak: { count, lastActiveDate, freezesUsed, ... },
  xp: number,
  badges: string[],
};

profile.currentWeekIntention = {
  weekKey: string,
  focus: string,
  why: string,
  actions: [string, string, string],
};

8. Coaching & AI Support¶

The AI Guide (AiGuide component) runs inside Growth Loop with a coach persona focused on execution honesty — not motivation.

Seeded questions (from DailyGrowthPage.tsx): - "Which habit do I keep skipping — and what am I avoiding by not doing it?" - "Where are my weekly reflections staying on the safe side of the truth?" - "Am I building habits that actually move me forward, or ones that just look good?" - "What pattern from my last cycle review am I about to repeat if I change nothing?" - "Which habit did I pick to impress myself — and which one would actually change my life?"

The coach has access to: - Archetype + force (shapes tone) - Current habits + recent completion ratios (spots skipped habits) - Last 1–3 weekly reflections (spots patterns) - Latest sprint review (spots repeated cycles)

Voice rules shared with Self Mastery + Life Design via COACHING_VOICE_RULES in selfInquiryService.ts.

9. Design Principles¶

Consumes Life Design, never duplicates it. Every strategic habit, every threat, every pillar goal is inherited. Growth Loop never asks the user to re-define direction — only to execute it.
See before you log. Overview is tab 1 for a reason. The user sees state first, then acts.
Three time horizons, one loop. Daily (habits) → Weekly (reflection) → 90-Day (sprint). Each horizon is a different truth.
The same habit means different things over time. Day 30 asks consistency. Day 60 asks growth. Day 90 asks effectiveness. Same habit, three lenses.
Three actions, not one. Binary goals are brittle; trios produce signal-rich weeks.
Streaks are evidence, not the point. Milestones celebrate, but the real output is the alignment trend.
Mastery is an exit, not a graveyard. Mastered habits leave the active grid — keeping cognitive load low and signalling real progress.
Retire what doesn't work. Day 90 audits whether each habit defused its threat. If not, retire it. No ritual for its own sake.

FAQ¶

Q: Do I have to do all four tabs every day? No. Only Habit Tracker is daily. Weekly Reflection is weekly. Cycle Reviews is every 30/60/90 days. Overview is for scanning anytime.

Q: What happens if I break my streak? If you have a streak freeze available, it absorbs the miss silently. If not, the streak resets — but your historical reflections, reviews, and mastered habits remain untouched.

Q: Can I add habits that aren't strategic? Yes — freeform habits added in the Habit Tracker are first-class. They just don't have the "Strategic" badge or a threat pairing.

Q: Why is Weekly Reflection only 3 questions? Other apps have more. Because friction kills reflection. Three questions is the minimum that still captures: evidence, obstacles, forward intent. More questions lead to unfilled reviews — which means no data.

Q: What if I disagree with the weekly challenge? Skip it. It's a nudge, not a requirement. weeklyChallenge.completed stays false; your streak and score are unaffected.

Q: Can I run multiple sprints in parallel? No — the system assumes one sprint at a time, tied to the current 90-day window. Day-in-cycle is computed from profile.createdAt.

Q: What's the difference between Alignment Score and Habit Score? Habit Score is a fact (did you do the habits). Alignment Score is a judgement (did the week feel like it was heading where you want). They often disagree — which is itself the most useful signal in the product.

Q: Does Growth Loop ever push notifications? Not in v1.0 — it's pull-based (the user opens it). Push is on the v1.1 roadmap.

Q: What happens at the end of a 90-day sprint? You review, recalibrate (retire / add / edit habits based on Day 90 findings), then start a new sprint. Life Design doesn't need re-doing unless direction itself has changed.

Compare two approaches to a problem you regularly face — which is more rigorous and why? 12. Create a 'knowledge gap' list — things you know you don't know yet — and pick one to close.

12. Worked Example — Driver + Catalyst on the Acceleration Path¶

A 90-day sprint walkthrough to make the model concrete. This is an illustrative sketch, not real user data.

Setup (Day 0)¶

Coming out of Life Design: - Pillar goals — Career: launch the new service line · Finance: 20% revenue lift · Health: reclaim training 4×/week - Strategic habits — morning deep-work block · end-of-day review · Saturday no-phone window - Capability gap — "delegation I actually trust" - Future Path — Acceleration

Day 1–30 · Phase 1 · Consistency¶

The job: just show up. The Commanding Driver's instinct is to optimise day 1; Consistency phase says don't. Earn the habit_builder 🔥 badge at day 7.

Typical week (Day 10): - Habit Tracker — 6 of 7 days active, streak = 10 - Weekly Reflection — "I kept pushing past my morning block into meetings. Habit Score 60, Alignment Score 55." - AI Guide nudge — "You wrote 'just this once' three times this week. What did 'just this once' actually cost you by Friday?"

Day 30 Cycle Review triggers. Celebration modal fires (showCelebration: 'map'), 30-Day Champion 🏆 badge awarded. Output: habitsToRetire = "optional stretch goal"; habitsToKeep = the three strategic habits.

Day 31–60 · Phase 2 · Capability¶

The job: start closing the capability gap (delegation). This is where the Driver often fails by adding more output rather than building leverage.

Mid-phase check (Day 45): - Habit Score 80 · Alignment Score 75 - Weekly Challenge this week: "Delegate one recurring task to free up strategic thinking time." (from Driver set, §11d) - First real delegation test. Integrator-secondary would soften this; pure Driver+Catalyst has to deliberately slow down.

Day 60 Cycle Review. Capability self-rating jumps from 3/10 to 6/10. Output: one new habit added — "Friday 1:1 with delegate, 20 min".

Day 61–90 · Phase 3 · Alignment¶

The job: check whether the velocity is pointing at the right target. Most Driver burnouts happen here — not from effort, from mis-aimed effort.

Day 90 Cycle Review special layers: - Direction Check — is the Acceleration path still the path? (User answer: "yes, but Health pillar drifted") - Life Wheel re-rating — Career 9 · Finance 8 · Health 6 (down from 7) · Relationships 7 · Growth 8 · Environment 8 - Recalibration — next sprint elevates Health to primary habit focus; Career habits move to maintenance mode

End of sprint. XP totals: ASSESSMENT_COMPLETE 500 + LIFE_DESIGN_COMPLETE 400 + ~13 reflections × 100 (capped at 10) = 1,000 + three milestones × 150 = 450 → 2,350 XP → Supernova level 🌌.\nBadges earned across the sprint: habit_builder, 30day_champion, full_spectrum (assuming wellness + financial plan also done).\n\n---\n\n## 📝 Content Backlog (documentation edits only)
