  "title": "Track readiness with performance evidence, not study hours",
  "summary": "Time spent is an input. Readiness is an output.",
  "kind": "template",
  "body": "Choose a small set of readiness signals tied to the assessment map: closed-book recall, case accuracy, response quality, timing, or successful follow-up questions. Record them at planned checkpoints and use them to decide what changes next. Keep hours only as a capacity measure.",
  "limits": [
    "No single score proves total readiness. Use a few signals covering the main assessment demands."

      "note": "Monitoring can become counterproductive if the metric is a poor proxy or produces no adjustment.",

  "use_when": [
    "Preparation is being judged by hours, pages, videos or streaks even though the assessment requires usable performance."

    "No single score proves total readiness. Use a few signals covering the main assessment demands."
  ],
  "example": "Instead of 'studied 12 hours,' track 'answered 8/10 mixed questions without notes and delivered two cases inside five minutes.'",
  "check": "At least one tracked metric can stay flat even if study hours rise—and would force a plan change.",
  "template": "Readiness signal: [performance]. Checkpoint: [date/task]. Result: [evidence]. Decision: [continue/change/investigate/stop].",
