How to Read Your Weyd Progress Report

The Progress tab is where Weyd's data about you becomes visible. It's also the most commonly misread part of the app.

Most users look at the total hours logged, compare it to last week, and close the tab. That's like reading only the first line of a blood test and ignoring the rest.

Here's what each section of the Progress report is actually telling you — and what to do with the information.

Skill Quotas (Weekly)

At the top of the Progress tab, you'll see colored bars showing how much time you've logged in each skill area against your weekly targets.

What it is: Your actual logged activity vs. the plan target for each skill. The plan target comes from your goal and your current skill profile — listening-deficient learners get higher listening quotas than balanced learners.

How to read it:

• Green/full bar: You hit the target for that skill this week
• Partial bar: You're under target — either you haven't studied enough, or that time hasn't been logged yet
• No bar / empty: This skill hasn't been touched at all this week

What to act on: If a skill is consistently red week after week, that's a signal. One possibility: you're genuinely not practicing it enough. Another possibility: you're practicing it but not logging it (check your integrations or log a session in chat).

What not to act on: A single red week after a holiday or a busy period isn't a problem. The pattern over 3–4 weeks is what matters.

Activity Feed

Below the quotas, the Activity section shows your individual logged sessions in chronological order.

What it is: A complete record of every session Weyd knows about — from integrations (auto-synced), screenshot imports, and manually logged sessions.

What to look for:

• Gaps: Stretches of days with no logged activity. If there are gaps, is it because you didn't study, or because you studied but didn't log?
• Skewed distribution: If 80% of your logs are vocabulary (Anki) and nothing else appears, your actual practice mix may not match your plan
• Session quality: If you've been logging qualitative notes (what was hard, how a session felt), you'll see them here. These notes become coaching context.

Tip: Scroll back 4–6 weeks instead of just looking at the current week. The pattern over a month is much more informative than any individual week.

Skill Trend Chart

The trends section shows how your estimated skill levels have changed over time.

What it is: Weyd's estimate of your actual level in each skill area, tracked over time. The estimate starts from your diagnostic (if you ran one) and updates as activity data accumulates.

How estimates work:

• Formal assessment (from the diagnostic or benchmark) — most reliable; shown with high confidence
• Self-reported (from skill self-assessment) — reliable if you're honest; moderate confidence
• Inferred (from activity patterns and integrations) — least reliable; lower confidence

A skill shown with a dotted line or lower confidence means Weyd has limited data and is estimating. Running the benchmark assessment for that skill upgrades it to a formal estimate.

What a plateau looks like: A skill trend line that has been flat for 4+ weeks despite consistent activity. This is the pattern that triggers Weyd's plateau detection and prompts a coaching recommendation.

What's normal: Skill growth is slow — a month of consistent practice at intermediate level might move your estimate by 0.1–0.3 levels. If you're expecting to see a trend line moving steeply upward week-over-week, you'll always be disappointed. Look at the 60–90 day view instead.

Outcome Metrics

In the Outcomes section, you'll see metrics like retention rate (if you're using Anki), accuracy trends, and comprehension self-reports.

What they are: Measures of quality, not quantity. You can log 10 hours of Anki and have declining retention — that tells you something different than 10 hours with stable retention.

Key metrics to watch:

Anki retention rate: The percentage of cards you're rating "Good" or "Easy." Below 85% suggests your new card introduction rate is too fast or you're adding cards from content that's too hard. Above 95% suggests you may be able to increase your new card rate.

Self-reported comprehension: After logging a listening or reading session, you can rate your comprehension (the coach sometimes asks). Tracking this over time shows whether the content you're consuming is appropriately challenging.

Speaking fluency self-reports: Subjective, but consistent self-reporting over time surfaces real patterns. If you're always rating your speaking sessions as "struggling," that's signal.

What the Progress Report Is Not

It's not a grade. There's no passing or failing the progress report. It's a diagnostic tool, not an evaluation.

It's not the whole picture. Language acquisition happens mostly in your head, through processes that aren't directly measurable. The progress report captures what you do, not everything that results from it.

It's not useful if you're not logging. If you practice 5 hours a week but only log 1, the progress report will look like you're not practicing enough. The data quality is entirely dependent on your logging consistency.

How Often to Check It

Weekly check (5 minutes): Look at skill quotas. Are you on track? Are any skills consistently under-quota?

Monthly review (15 minutes): Look at the trend chart. Are skills moving? Are any flat despite activity? Check if your practice mix matches your plan.

After a diagnostic or benchmark: Compare your new assessment results to your previous estimates. The gap between "inferred" and "formal" level estimates is often informative — many learners discover their actual level differs from what they assumed.

Acting on What You See

If your skills are on-quota and the trends are moving (even slowly): keep doing what you're doing.

If a skill is consistently under-quota: either add it to your weekly routine or tell the coach you want to de-prioritize it and have the plan updated.

If a skill trend has been flat for 4+ weeks: tell the coach. Describe what you've been doing and ask what to change. That's exactly what the plateau detection system is looking for.

If you're not sure what you're looking at: open the chat, say "I'm looking at my progress report and want to understand what it means," and share what you're seeing. The coach can walk you through it.

The progress report is most useful not as a status check, but as a tool for identifying what to change.
