Your daily readiness score: five signals, one number, before you lift

Plenty of apps track recovery signals. Almost none of them tell you what to actually do with the pile of numbers. A readiness score is only useful if it collapses everything you know about how recovered you are into a single, honest verdict — and then changes the session in front of you.

One score from five signals

Misi builds your daily readiness score from five inputs: how you slept, the CNS tap test, a quick subjective “how you feel” rating, your recent RPE trend, and accumulated training load. Each is scored and weighted, then combined into one number on a sweep gauge with a clear band — go hard, proceed, or back off.

Why one number, not five dashboards

Five separate readouts force you to do the integration in your head every morning — and most people either over-react to one bad signal or ignore all of them. A single score with a visible breakdown gives you the verdict at a glance, while still letting you see why: if sleep tanked the number, the sleep bar shows it.

The CNS tap test does the heavy lifting

Subjective inputs drift — people talk themselves into feeling fine. The CNS tap test is the hardest signal to fake, because tapping speed reflects nervous-system fatigue you cannot will away. It is the objective anchor among the five, and it is worth understanding on its own; we cover what it is and how it auto-regulates your training in a dedicated piece.

The point of a readiness score is not to admire it. It is to know, before your first set, whether today is a push day or a hold day.

Readiness scores are training tools, not medical assessments. Persistent low readiness alongside poor sleep, low mood or unusual fatigue is a reason to rest and, if it continues, to consult a qualified clinician.
