Motivation metrics
Interview Sprint gamifies progress toward readiness — not streak theatre. Three numbers appear in the workspace for different jobs. They never fold into one score.
Prep XP
Prep XP records effort. Finishing planned work (and some mock-hub runs) awards Prep XP through the same progress ledger other WinJob features use. The award is idempotent: completing the same task twice does not mint XP twice.
Prep XP does not raise Preparation Readiness. It is participation feedback only.
Preparation Readiness
Readiness is still evidence only. Reading, quizzes, recall, timed designs, evaluator runs, mocks and real-interview debriefs write provenance-weighted evidence. See Readiness score.
Celebrations after a mission may show how readiness moved, but XP and Momentum never write that score.
Momentum
Momentum is plan adherence over a rolling window: building, steady, strong or recovering. It is not a “streak you broke.”
- Rest days, planned blackouts and reschedules do not hurt Momentum.
- Missing critical planned work consumes the Momentum buffer.
- Mission Control shows buffer dots and a calm state label, never shame copy.
Mission buckets
Today’s tasks split into three intentional columns:
| Bucket | Intent |
|---|---|
| Critical | Highest-value evidence thread (mocks, designs, evaluator, gap-critical work) |
| Growth | Repairs, drills, follow-ups that close moderate gaps |
| Recall | Spaced review and decay refresh |
One primary CTA — Start Critical Mission — keeps the day from becoming eight equal checkboxes.
