If baseline and mastery settings are entered at the same time, Compassly finishes the baseline calculation first and then begins the mastery process. ## How Compassly evaluates progress Compassly evaluates mastery after tracked data is processed for the day. A maladaptive is considered ready for mastery only when: * the target requirement is met * the required number of team members is met * the required number of days is met * all of those conditions are satisfied together Each team member is evaluated individually for that day. Compassly does not average performance across the group. The same team members do not need to appear every day. What matters is that enough team members meet the target on each qualifying day. If no session data exists for a day, that day is skipped. It does not count as a pass or a fail, and the streak resumes on the next day with tracked data. ## Reset conditions The current mastery run resets if any of the following happens before mastery is confirmed: * one or more mastery criteria are not reached on a required day * the mastery criteria are changed * the maladaptive is archived After a reset, a new mastery run starts again from the next day with tracked attempts. ## Example mastery run Example maladaptive: * **Target:** `>= 80%` * **Mastery criteria:** 5 consecutive days, with at least 2 team members meeting the target each day First attempt: * **Day 1:** BT-A = 85%, BT-B = 82% -> pass, streak = 1 * **Day 2:** BT-A = 78%, BT-C = 88% -> fail, only 1 team member met target, streak resets to 0 Starting over: * **Day 1:** BT-B = 90%, BT-C = 84% -> pass, streak = 1 * **Day 2:** BT-A = 81%, BT-B = 87% -> pass, streak = 2 * **Day 3:** BT-B = 83%, BT-C = 86% -> pass, streak = 3 * **Day 4:** BT-A = 88%, BT-C = 82% -> pass, streak = 4 * **Day 5:** BT-A = 91%, BT-B = 85% -> pass, streak = 5, maladaptive becomes ready for manual mastery confirmation ## After mastery is confirmed Once a user confirms mastery: * the maladaptive moves to the **Mastered** list * the date of mastery confirmation is saved * the maladaptive cannot move back to **In progress** ## Related guides * [Master Maladaptive](/compassly-docs/core-modules/clients/maladaptives/master-maladaptive.md) * [Master Maladaptives in Batch](/compassly-docs/core-modules/clients/maladaptives/master-maladaptives-in-batch.md) * [Track Data and View Graph for Maladaptive](/compassly-docs/core-modules/clients/maladaptives/track-data-and-view-graph-for-maladaptive.md) * [Why Isn't a Maladaptive Ready for Mastery?](/compassly-docs/core-modules/clients/maladaptives/why-isnt-a-maladaptive-ready-for-mastery.md) --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://compassly.gitbook.io/compassly-docs/core-modules/clients/maladaptives/understand-maladaptive-mastery.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
