The Archer's Mark

Take it the day you enter, and again the day you leave. The arrow doesn't care how you felt — only where it landed.

The Measure · Day 0 and Final Day

Two readings, one honest comparison

This isn't a quiz with a right answer. It's a snapshot of how you've actually worked over the last seven days. You'll take it once now — before the Gate changes anything — and again, unchanged, on your final day. The gap between the two is what the Gate built.

Answer for what you did, not what you intend to do. A low score today isn't a verdict on you — it's the starting line you're about to move from.

Which reading is this?

Pick where you are. The questions are identical either way — only the result screen differs.

Day 0 — I'm just entering the Gate
Sets your baseline. Nothing to compare against yet.
Final day — I've finished the Gate
Compares against the baseline you saved on Day 0.
The Reading · 14 questions

In the last seven days…

For each line, choose how often it was true. Be honest about the week you actually had — not a good week, not your intentions. The scale runs from never to always.

Save this baseline

Copy this code and keep it — in your notebook, a note, anywhere you'll find it on your final day. Paste it back into this tool then to see how far the arrow flew. If you take the final reading on this same device, it's already stored for you.

There's no door here. You're already walking in. Tomorrow is Day 1.

The part that didn't move
Open your notebook to your Day 1 evening entry — the number that made you uncomfortable to write. Read it beside the person taking this reading now. That distance is the whole point.

Where the arrow points next

Keep both readings together — the Day 0 scroll and this one. They are the proof.
