LifeScore Framework
The LifeScore measures personal performance across four core domains: Health, Connection, Capital, and Ability, using category-specific metrics and distinguishing between Lead Indicators (actions and inputs driving progress) and Lag Indicators (outcomes reflecting results).
Core Categories and Metrics
1. Health

Improvements in mental health assessment scores (e.g., GAD-7, PHQ-9). Exercise frequency, duration, and intensity. Nutrition adherence (e.g., percentage of meals meeting dietary goals). Sleep duration and quality. Biometrics (e.g., resting heart rate, blood pressure). Energy levels and fatigue scores. Progress in fitness goals (e.g., strength, endurance, or weight management).
