Two independent scores · 1–5 · 5 is highest
Priorities
Every entity in the model carries a benchmark score and, once you set it, your own. Your score is dated and append-only, so changing your mind is recorded rather than overwritten. The gap between the two is the point: it is either deliberate differentiation or something worth arguing about.
Benchmark persona · v1
34, AI-native ecommerce operator in Toronto on an executive track. Runs a real P&L, builds his own tooling, actively interviewing for a step up. Rebuilding a social life after a founder decade. Parents nearby, contact irregular. Health is already a solved habit, money is stable, reputation is the constraint. Benchmark answers: what would a peer at this exact point prioritise, not what would a generic professional prioritise.
The benchmark is a comparison, not a verdict. Where you disagree with it on purpose, that disagreement is your differentiation — say so in the rationale so it is on the record.
You have not set a single priority yet
Until you do, every Δ is blank and the benchmark is running unopposed. Set them in the terminal — say which items matter and at what level, and I will write them in with today's date.
Top of the benchmark
What a comparable peer would work on first, across every pillar and lane. Sorted by benchmark score; your own ranking sits alongside it.

value
Most evidenced value in the dataset and the one a peer would build everything else on. 239 workout days a year is a moat most operators do not have.

value
This is the positioning fork. A peer on an exec track would treat it as the highest-priority value because it decides which audience leads.

shadow
Highest-priority shadow trait because it is the specific failure mode that would kill this app. A peer would guard it hardest.

The single highest-priority item in the model for this persona. Everything professional inherits it.

Top tier for this persona: highest reach against the audience that decides scope and comp, and the surfaces a peer would fix before anything else.

The executive-communication rock runs through this asset, and a programme is already booked. Highest-priority instrument.

Genuinely differentiating for an AI-native operator. A peer would rank it high but below the positioning question.

value
Uncomfortable and useful. A peer would prioritise it because it predicts which of their own projects will survive.

golden shadow
Ranked high because it is the only lever named for the Family lane, which has no other content.

shadow
Directly taxes the executive-communication rock. Compression is the fix and it is already the number one rock.

Scores are append-only. Re-scoring an item adds a dated row rather than replacing the old one, so the movement over time is itself the record.
