What happens after the check-in
Behavioral Mechanics
The daily rhythm stays simple: bring your goal into focus, then answer honestly about what happened. Over time, the check-in history for each goal can help Daily Anchor adjust the accountability around it — while you remain in control of your cadence and your goal.
The daily action stays simple while the recorded pattern develops.
YES and NO are both useful answers.
YES means you recorded that you followed through. NO means you checked in and recorded that you did not. Neither answer is a verdict about you; both help build an honest picture of the goal.
A missed check-in is different. It simply means no answer was recorded. Daily Anchor keeps that distinct from a NO rather than treating them as the same thing.

Each goal develops its own pattern.
If you are working on more than one goal, Daily Anchor considers each one separately. Each goal has its own check-in history and can develop its own accountability rhythm. The pattern on one goal does not determine the cadence for another.
Another goal, if you have one
Accountability can adjust with the pattern.
As enough history develops, consistent answered follow-through may support a lighter check-in cadence. Repeated NOs or repeated missed check-ins may keep accountability closer.
That is meant to keep the support useful — not reward or punish an answer.
You stay in control.
You can choose a cadence for your goal. When you do, your choice takes priority over an automatic cadence recommendation.
Rhythm can become lighter
Sometimes the goal itself deserves another look.
A pattern is not only about how often to check in. After enough answered check-ins, Daily Anchor may invite you to review a goal that has been consistently difficult to follow through on — or consider an optional next step when that goal has become highly consistent.
Goal Calibration
That optional review is called Goal Calibration. It is a suggestion, not a correction. Daily Anchor does not change your goal for you, and not every plan or cycle will necessarily produce a recommendation.
You decide whether anything changes.
Pattern→Pause and review→Your decision
Your earlier history is not erased.
If you choose to update a goal through Goal Calibration, Daily Anchor preserves the earlier history rather than overwriting it. The updated goal begins with daily check-ins so its new pattern can develop.
