How the roll-up gate works
This tool grades your AI skills against a spaced-repetition schedule — each one fresh, fading, or gone cold. It reads 6 skills and rolls them into one verdict — the worst, never the average. A critical-cold gate then puts a business-critical COLD skill at the top of the list; it does not move the verdict.
The 6 skills
A business-critical skill that has gone COLD fires the gate and is named ahead of any other COLD skill. The gate does not move the verdict: any COLD skill, critical or not, already makes the week ESCALATE, however fresh everything else is.
Why: Three of six skills are FRESH and one is only FADING — on the average this looks like a light review week. But two skills have gone COLD (at or past 2× their interval), and one of them, verifying AI output for errors, is flagged business-critical. The roll-up takes the worst, so the two COLD skills make the week ESCALATE, and the critical one fires the gate and is named ahead of the other.
A mostly-fresh week didn’t save it. The roll-up takes the worst skill, so one COLD skill makes the week ESCALATE. The critical-cold gate does not move that verdict; it names a critical COLD skill ahead of the rest, and where a review is due, the fix first row names it. A date the sheet cannot read is never counted as fresh: with nothing FADING or COLD, the week reads CHECK DATES instead of ON TRACK. Runs on your own review dates and box numbers — no AI, no hidden curve. A skill-upkeep aid, not legal, financial, or HR advice.
