When to unlock the next level (and when not to)

The level-up gate opens when every focus area is green. That doesn't mean you should immediately walk through it.

The temptation to level up as soon as the gate opens is strong. Resist it. A category that just turned green at the current level has not demonstrated that it will stay green; it has demonstrated that it can reach green.

A rough rule

Wait one full review cadence (typically a month) of sustained green before unlocking. If the green survives that, it's real and the next level's harder questions are the right next challenge.
