Reading Your Relationship Health Chart

Harmony Control’s health chart turns day-to-day follow-through into a visual story. Instead of arguing from memory (“you never…” / “I always…”), you can look at the same graph and ask better questions.

What the chart shows

The chart tracks a trailing health score (often called H7 — a rolling average of recent behavior, tasks, and relationship signals). Higher is generally healthier; sharp drops usually mean something changed — stress, missed rituals, broken promises, or external life pressure.

You will also see:

• Dom target — the line you agreed represents “where we want to be”
• Threshold markers — levels that may trigger agreed consequences or support (privilege review, lockup, presentation, last-resort protocols)
• Recent events — mistakes, rewards, and training milestones that explain spikes and dips

Read trends, not single points

One bad day is normal. A two-week slide is a conversation worth having.

When you review the chart together:

• Ask what was happening in life during dips (work, health, family)
• Celebrate sustained climbs — they usually mean habits are sticking
• Avoid using the score as a weapon — the chart is for repair, not shame

Dom and Sub both benefit

Doms use the chart to calibrate expectations: Are rules realistic? Is praise landing? Is discipline proportional?

Subs use it to communicate capacity: “I can see my score dropped when travel started — I need lighter tasks this week.”

Neither role owns the truth alone. The chart is shared data inside a private agreement.

Thresholds are agreements, not surprises

Automatic thresholds (when enabled) should always reflect pre-negotiated consequences. If a line on the chart triggers something emotional or intense, you should have talked about it before it happened.

If a threshold feels misfired:

1. Pause the automatic action if your contract allows
2. Debrief within 24 hours
3. Adjust the threshold or the underlying rule

When not to obsess

Numbers can become anxiety fuel. Skip daily score-checking if it makes either partner compulsive. Weekly review is enough for most couples.

If the chart consistently makes someone feel small or unsafe, step back from gamification and return to conversation, therapy, or community support as needed.

The point

The health chart exists so honesty has a shape. Use it to align, not to rank each other. The hottest part of a dynamic is still understanding — together.
