## What is Grit?

Grit is a discipline tracker with one number at the center: a 0 to 1000 Discipline Score that rises when you keep your word and decays when you don't. No feeds, no followers, no noise. Just the number, earned.

The score: Every day you get a short protocol of real tasks. Complete them and the score climbs. Skip them and it slips. The economy is honest: early gains come fast, the top of the ladder is earned slowly. Spark, Kindling, Flame, Blaze, Inferno - five tiers, one way up.

Your companion: Pick one: Ember, Gargoyle, Dragon, Phoenix, or Ghost. It evolves with your score through five forms. Fall behind and it cools off with you. The final form opens at 850. Few get there.

Daily challenges: Join trials like Iron Month, The 10k Round, Seven Clean Days, or Monk's Vow. Anonymous cohorts show how many are running it with you and how many finish. No profiles, no chat, no leaderboard. Just company on the road.

Hard mode: One hard day when you need a reset: Silent Day, Deep Day, or Reset Day. A checklist, a countdown to midnight, and no negotiation. Clear every task and the score remembers. Fall short and you take a small hit.

Progress: Every point has a reason. A trend of your score, a flame calendar of your months, a radar of where your effort actually goes, and an optional Sunday recap. Facts in plain words, not vanity charts.

Journal: One line a day. Your future self will want the receipts.

Where this pace leads: Grit projects your current pace forward: which tier, by which date, at what cost. Keep the pace or change it. The number doesn't lie either way.

PREMIUM
