Understanding Your Metabolic Baseline Report

Overview

1. What is your Metabolic Baseline?

You wore your biosensor, logged your meals, and tracked your routines for an entire week. Now, your Metabolic Baseline is ready to show you exactly what your body has been telling you. This isn't generalized advice or a generic health report, it is a deeply personalized metabolic blueprint generated entirely from your raw data: your glucose readings, meals, sleep, and workouts from your Signos app.

This is a foundational report created at the end of your 7 qualifying continuous biosensor days. It establishes your clear, metabolic starting point before you make any intentional lifestyle shifts. Once generated, your regular Weekly Reports will take over to measure your incremental progress, but it will remain the permanent baseline benchmark against which you measure your growth.

2. How qualifying days work

To ensure your final baseline report is highly accurate and truly reflects your body's signals, our system uses a series of data quality checks. A calendar day (midnight to midnight, local time) only counts as a qualifying day if your biosensor records enough continuous data. Here is exactly how the system calculates your progress:

How-to

3. How the report comes together

Your baseline report follows a specific lifecycle in the app, from the first day you apply your sensor to the moment you unlock your final results.

Tracking Your Report Progress:

1. Pending State: Your biosensor is successfully paired, but data collection has not officially started. Your collection window automatically begins on your first full local day of sensor readings.
2. Collecting State: The app actively tallies your qualifying days. A dynamic tracking banner sits right on your home screen to show your progress.
   • The At-Risk Rule: If you hit Day 3 of collection with fewer than 3 total logged meals, your banner shifts to an "At Risk" state. Simply log a few comprehensive meals to clear this warning and get back on track!
3. Complete State: Once 7 qualifying days are completed, you will get a push notification stating: "It's here. Your Metabolic Report is ready. See what your body's been telling you." Tap the notification or the "Report Ready" banner on your home screen to launch the experience.
4. Post-Report State: After you read your report, or after one week has passed since it was generated, the home screen banner clears. Your report moves to its permanent home under Insights → Reports, and your regular weekly check-ins resume.

4. Every screen, explained

When you open your completed report, it guides you through a multi-screen visual flow in a fixed order. Here is exactly what each view shows and what powers it:

• Welcome Screen: Establishes your baseline dates by displaying the start and end points of your 7-day tracking window. 

• Data Tally: A direct view of your contributing raw data: meal logs, sleep records, workouts, and CGM readings. Meals, sleep, and workouts can show zero if you didn't log them; those rows still appear. CGM readings will never be zero, the report can't generate without a minimum threshold of glucose data.

• Time in Range (TIR): How much of the week did your glucose stay in your target range? This screen shows you the exact Time in Range (TIR) percentage, pulled directly from your CGM readings, indicating how often your glucose stayed within your personalized target range. 

• Spikes Per Day (SPD): Your average number of glucose spikes per day across your qualifying window. (Healthy Target: 2 or fewer daily spikes).

• Latest Spike Time (LST): Shows the average time of your very last glucose spike each day, Latest Spike Time (LST), tracking how late into the evening your body is working to process energy. Days with zero spikes are counted as an early 2:00 PM finish to lower your average and reward your body's stability! If you experience no spikes all week, the screen proudly reads "No Spikes." (Healthy Target: Before 6:00 PM).

• The Satiety Duo (Weekly Macros): A breakdown tracking your protein and fiber intake against your personalized targets. It evaluates your nutritional balance and your macro intake, including information on your Macro Widget. The detail you see depends heavily on your overall logging volume:
  1. Meal logs
  2. Macro breakdowns
  3. Calorie totals
  4. Goal weight
  5. Fiber targets are personalized based on gender and PCOS status, so your number may look different from someone else's.

            Missing meal logs can cause a limited experience. 

• Highlights (Best & Toughest Day): Evaluates your baseline days using a daily Glucose Performance Average (GPA) rating from 1 to 5. Your baseline days are scored using a daily glucose performance rating. This screen highlights your strongest day and your toughest day, side by side.

• Notable Events: This screen counts four specific glucose events detected during your baseline week, including:

  1. Sugar crashes - sharp drops causing hunger 
  2. Late-night rises - glucose climbs after 11 pm
  3. Major Spikes - a spike above 180 mg/dL
  4. Rebound eating - overeating after a delay 
  • Zero counts are shown as zero, this screen never disappears. And a week with zero events? That's a good week.

   

• Surprising Foods: Highlights up to two logged items where you had an unexpected glucose response. One that spiked you more than expected, one that spiked you less. Each section may show your actual glucose curve for that meal alongside the predicted response, so you can see exactly what happened. If no qualifying food outliers are detected, it doesn't appear. A meal also needs a real description to qualify; a label like "breakfast" or "lunch" alone won't qualify.

• One Daily Change: One recommendation based on whichever glucose metric was your weakest during the baseline week, Time in Range, Spikes per Day, or Latest Spike Time, and provides a single, highly actionable habit to try in the week ahead. If your baseline week was pristine, it skips the habit and celebrates your metrics instead.

• Track Your Progress Every Week: A quick intro to what comes next, including your weekly reports, which pick up where your Baseline Report leaves off.

• Your New Glucose Target (New AUB): Presents your calculated Adaptive Upper Bound (AUB): a personalized glucose target line mathematically calibrated to your baseline data. This screen lets you review and accept your new target, or pass on the recommendation.

After the Report

Your Metabolic Baseline Report is saved in Insights → Reports and stays there. Always accessible, any time you want to revisit it. Weekly check-ins resume automatically once the report is complete.
