Cycle context should explain patterns only when the user opts in.
daygauge can connect cycle phase with sleep, recovery and energy patterns privately, without fertility, pregnancy or hormone inference.
Start with the signal your own data can support.
Many users want wearable data interpreted in relation to cycle phase because HRV, temperature, sleep and energy can shift across the month.
This is a major Pro opportunity, but it must be handled as sensitive opt-in context with no leaderboard use and no reproductive inference.
daygauge can use user-enabled cycle context beside sleep timing, resting HR, HRV, temperature and self-reported symptoms.
What this page covers.
From research context to product evidence.
What a user should expect to see in the app.
Cycle context enabled: recovery proxy compared with same-phase baseline, not generic monthly average.
Weekly review previewdaygauge can use user-enabled cycle context beside sleep timing, resting HR, HRV, temperature and self-reported symptoms.
Confidence rises when the same pattern repeats against your own baseline and drops when key signals are missing.
daygauge would suggest one small experiment, then watch whether the evidence repeats over the next week.

Evidence 1
Cycle context enabled: recovery proxy compared with same-phase baseline, not generic monthly average.
Evidence 2
Sleep evidence: luteal-context nights averaged 34 minutes less sleep than user's own follicular-context baseline.
Evidence 3
Privacy: cycle context excluded from local rank, circles and share cards.
