Why twelve weeks
Twelve weeks is long enough to make training, nutrition, recovery, and routine visible, while still short enough to adjust before drift becomes the plan.
The baseline defines what will be watched, what will be left alone, and what would justify a course correction.
What gets captured
The Index records the current scan context, a non-diagnostic capability baseline, practical constraints, support needs, three priorities, and a consistent retest window.
The result is a private reference point that can be reused when comparing body-composition changes, training changes, or the effect of a new routine.
Who it is for
The baseline is built for adults using GLP-1 medication, actively losing weight, returning to training, reviewing a scan, or moving from weight loss into maintenance.
It is not urgent care, medical diagnosis, or a treatment plan. It is an organized, non-diagnostic way to decide what the next 12 weeks should protect and measure.
