The ladder
Thirty levels, six ranks, no shortcuts.
Levels are earned from reviewed practice, never from time spent in the app. A rank tells another artist exactly what you can hold consistently.

What gets tracked
Six things NeedleDojo remembers so you do not have to.
Most artists cannot answer a simple question: are you better than you were in March? This is the layer that answers it with data instead of a feeling.
- 01
Every reviewed session
Eight metric scores, the photo, the coach's markup, and the drill it prescribed. Nothing is discarded.
- 02
Week-over-week deltas
Not just where you are, but how fast you are moving and which skill is stalling.
- 03
Consistency, separately
Average score and score variance are tracked apart, because reliable is worth more than occasionally brilliant.
- 04
Time under the machine
Minutes practised per skill, so you can see where the hours actually went.
- 05
Skill tree state
Which of the twenty-six nodes are open, held, or gated behind a score you have not hit yet.
- 06
Your own before and after
Day one next to today, same drill, same angle. The single most motivating screen in the product.
The transformation
Day 1 to month 6, on the record.
The reason to keep the history is that the history becomes the proof. This is what a consistent artist's timeline looks like inside NeedleDojo.
