How Ocht Calculates Reports

Ocht uses fixed formulas rather than AI-generated judgement. The same inputs produce the same report, which makes the result easier to check, compare, and explain to a coach.

Inputs

The model uses the race format, target time, athlete level, run splits, station splits, and station order. Custom formats use the same scoring approach with the stations entered by the athlete.

Benchmarks

Station gaps are measured against the selected athlete level. The level changes the benchmark, not the athlete's entered result. This keeps beginner, competitive, and elite reports readable without mixing the standard.

Time Leaks

A leak is the difference between the athlete's actual split and the relevant target or benchmark. Ocht ranks leaks by size, recoverability, and impact on the total finish time.

Recoverable Time

Recoverable time is an estimate of the realistic improvement available from a leak. It is intentionally conservative: the goal is a next useful training target, not a fantasy best-case race.

Readiness Score

Readiness scores are out of 100. Higher means the race profile is closer to target, more repeatable, or better protected against late-race fade. The score is a planning signal, not a medical or fitness diagnosis.

Training Guidance

Training priorities are generated from the highest-impact leaks and the current target gap. Use them as planning guidance only. Do not use Ocht as medical advice, injury advice, or a replacement for coaching.
