It measures the current frequency, credibility, and behavioral cost of “A slow week means the whole thing is falling apart”, including the private rule underneath it: If this week is quiet, I have to treat it like an early warning and assume the business is slipping unless I keep scanning for signs. Rest feels irresponsible until the pace picks up again.
