Sigmastead

Product · private development · synthetic evidence only

From a goal you name to a step you choose.

The loop is the product. Encryption, adapters, and model access exist to serve it—none of them is the product by itself. Here is each step, what it does, and exactly where it stands.

Every scene on this page is drawn from synthetic development data. Nothing here is a customer, a real record, or a production result.

00 How it works

Nine steps. Four labels. No present tense for things that are not true yet.

Choose a goal → select data → private vault → cross-domain evidence → preview the packet → cited observation → choose an action → Goal Momentum → updated evidence. Then around again.

01 Step 1 of 9

Vision Board

Designed

Describe the life you want to build in a private visual workspace: areas such as health, family, learning, career, or finances; an outcome; a motivation; a time horizon; an image or reference if you like. Connect a vision area to one or more goals without exposing the board to a model, another person, or any public surface. Images and free text are private content and stay out of analysis unless a future contract explicitly classifies, previews, and minimizes them.

Where it stands. Specified as a named alpha capability. Goal Studio's goal form and Life Lane are foundations, not the board. See the vision page.

02 Step 2 of 9

Choose a goal

Built · synthetic

Goal Studio asks you to pick and confirm one plain-language purpose before anything else can happen. A confirmed choice is bound by reviewed software to one exact analysis strategy and version. Draft, unclear, tracking-only, unsupported, and insufficient-evidence choices all stop locally and make no model request.

Where it stands. Working in the development application with synthetic data. The purpose selector is live there; packet review and consent stay disabled until a purpose is confirmed.

Goal Studio · purposeSynthetic

Read for enjoyment, not completion — what kind of help do you want?

  • Prepare a focused question about what's getting in the way of reading.
  • Track without suggestions — keep the timeline, make no model request.
  • Not sure yet — pause until the goal is clearer.

Packet review and consent stay disabled until a purpose is chosen and confirmed.

03 Step 3 of 9

Select data

Partially built

Every source enters through a reviewed adapter that maps only named fields with explicit units, excludes free text like workout titles and comments, and leaves ambiguous fields visibly unresolved rather than guessing. Today that means one-time exports: a training log, sleep, and a personal calendar. Reading, money, and other domains follow the same rule—no source is presented as connected until its adapter has passed review. Sigmastead does not connect to your accounts, sync in the background, or scrape.

Where it stands. One bounded training adapter and a reviewed sleep/calendar importer exist locally and synthetically. The alpha adapter set, consent flow, provenance display, and phone-sized import proof are open.

04 Step 4 of 9

Private vault

Built · synthetic

Records are encrypted on your trusted device under keys you control before upload. Storage receives ciphertext plus opaque identifiers. Ownership is derived from your verified sign-in, every authorized operation targets one exact object, and Tech City's routine systems hold no key that decrypts persisted vault content.

Where it stands. Sign-in, identity-derived namespace, client-side encryption, ciphertext storage, and exact-object authorization are working in development with synthetic data. Production acceptance still requires independent review of the exact vault, recovery, and hosted release boundary, together with the applicable operational-security baseline. Details on the trust page.

05 Step 5 of 9

Cross-domain evidence

Partially built

Selected signals appear side by side on one understandable timeline, with the context you add, dated and correctable. Missing data is shown as missing—never filled with a default or a guess.

Where it stands. A synthetic Life Lane and a packet-backed weekly comparison table exist locally. Real adapter integration, provenance display, and a plotted private timeline are open.

06 Step 6 of 9

Preview the packet

Built · synthetic

Before any AI analysis you see exactly what would leave your device: included fields, summarized fields, excluded fields, and unknowns. Approval binds the exact packet digest, purpose, processing region, and expiry. Change anything and the approval is void.

Where it stands. The exact preview, consent receipt, and one-use submission are working in development with synthetic data.

Exact packet · health exampleSynthetic

What would leave this device

Evidence Metric Week Value
ev-3f9a training_stress 2030-01-07 450
ev-71c2 training_stress 2030-01-14 200
ev-b04e sleep_hours 2030-01-07 6.0
ev-d281 sleep_hours 2030-01-14 6.0

Excluded: workout titles, coach comments, calendar titles, attendees, locations, device names, raw rows. Unknown: none.

Approval binds this exact packet, purpose, region, and a five-minute expiry. Change anything and the approval is void.

07 Step 7 of 9

Cited observation

Being validated

The comparison itself—which weeks, which values, what difference—is computed by software and checked against the packet. The model contributes only uncertainty, limitations, an authority boundary, and one bounded question. If the evidence is insufficient the result says so instead of inventing a pattern. One request, no automatic retry.

Where it stands. One bounded fictional training-and-sleep scenario produced an accepted useful response on 4 September 2026. This does not establish universal personalization or private-data readiness; each new goal family needs its own strategy and benchmark first.

Cited observation · health exampleSynthetic

Training stress fell from 450 to 200 (−250) between the weeks of 7 and 14 January, while average sleep stayed at 6.0 hours (no change). ev-3f9aev-71c2ev-b04eev-d281

Uncertainty and limits

  • Two weeks cannot establish a pattern; weekly averages hide nightly variation.
  • No calendar evidence was in the window, so busy weeks are not accounted for.
  • No causal claim is made in either direction.

One bounded question for your coach

“Load dropped by 250 while sleep stayed flat at 6 hours—was that reduction planned, and what would you expect sleep to do?”

Authority: your coach owns the plan · your clinician owns medical decisions

08 Step 8 of 9

Choose an action

Partially built

An observation can become a bounded experiment, direct coaching for a goal you own, or a question for the person who owns an external plan. Sigmastead may coach when you explicitly choose that role; it never modifies a human coach's workouts, offers a diagnosis, or prescribes.

Where it stands. Experiment framing and the coach/medical authority boundary exist in Goal Studio locally. The complete experiment lifecycle and comprehension testing are open.

09 Step 9 of 9

Goal Momentum

Built locally · synthetic

Opt in per goal. Define what progress means, add milestones, complete them yourself or with cited evidence, reflect weekly, correct anything, pause and resume without penalty. No points, streaks, leaderboards, or rewards for connecting more data.

Where it stands. Contracts, state logic, milestone and reflection controls, encrypted browser persistence, and a portable export are built locally with synthetic tests. Hosted lifecycle validation and invited-alpha evidence are open.

10 Boundaries

What Sigmastead is not.

Not a diagnosis

Observations use conversation and escalation language. Medical decisions stay with you and your care team.

Coaching is chosen, never assumed

For goals you own, Sigmastead may act as a coach when you ask it to. A model never marks a milestone complete, changes a plan a human owns, or acts without your explicit choice.

Not a data broker

Private vault data never silently becomes public, advertising, model-training, social, or marketplace data.
