Understanding Base Program Adherence & Top Performing

See at a glance which of your base programs are working — and why.

Adherence tells you how well the clients on a base program are actually sticking to it. On the Base Programs screen, every program shows an adherence indicator, and the Top Performing section ranks your strongest programs with a short, plain-language insight on each — so you can spot what's working and what to tweak.

What adherence measures

Adherence reflects how consistently the clients on a base program are following it across three areas — activity (workouts), fuel (nutrition and hydration) and journalling.

Importantly, it is only measured during the learning phase — the period when clients are following the base program exactly as you built it. This gives the app the data it needs to understand how well the program fits your clients' lives before any recommendations are made.

Once a client's learning phase is complete, adherence is no longer measured at the program level for them. From that point each client is tracked individually against their own adjusted program (see What Happens After the Learning Phase).

In the app: tap the info (i) icon on the Base Programs screen to see this same explanation under “Program Adherence.”

The adherence indicator

In your Base Programs list, each program shows a coloured adherence bar so you can scan your whole library at a glance: green for high, orange for medium, and red for low.

The Top Performing section

At the top of the Base Programs screen, tap Top Performing to expand it. It surfaces your top three programs, ordered highest adherence first, each showing its score (for example 72%) and a short insight (from Areela) explaining the score and how to lift it. For example:

"This program's activity has great adherence, but would score higher if more clients tracked all journalling items."
"Adherence is good, but clients seem to be struggling with the large calorie deficit."

Using it

Treat these insights as prompts. If clients aren't tracking journals, simplify what the program asks them to log; if a deficit is too aggressive, ease it. You can make the change to the program itself (see Edit or Delete a Base Program) or for an individual client (see View and Adjust a Client's Program).
