For a specific goal
Not 'get fitter.' Bench 100kg by December.
One number, one pace line, and an honest standing every week.
Pick the number. Committo plots a pace line from where you are now to where you want to be, and tells you every week whether you're on track to get there.
- 85 kg logged: The week's best lift: 82.5 → 85 kg.
- On the curve: The new point sits above the pace line. 63% to the goal.
- 15 kg to go: The line shows where you need to be by the end of the cycle: 15 kg to go.
- Your coach notices: It tells you when the next 2.5 kg are due.
Know if you're on pace — every week
Committo turns a big number into a weekly pace line. See how far you've climbed, how far is left, and whether this week kept you on track.

ChallengeThe evidence behind this
We grade what we lean on, and we show the grade. A is settled science; B is real but modest or genuinely contested — we say so rather than quietly leaving it out.
Feeling yourself get better at something you chose isn't self-indulgence. Fifty years of research keeps finding three basic psychological needs — autonomy, competence, and relatedness — and wellbeing reliably tracks all three.
A-Sources and the caveat

The caveat
Framework-level evidence — "independently predicts", not "strongly predicts": the unique variance per need can be modest, and the field's dominant need-satisfaction scale has psychometric critiques.
In twelve thousand work-diary entries, the best days weren't marked by praise or perks — they were marked by visible progress on something meaningful. Small wins, literally. It's why a logged check-in feels bigger than it looks.
B+Sources and the caveat

The caveat
One large research program; diary methodology. Graded B+ despite fame.
