Level 1 · Awareness

SEE YOUR WHOLE LANDSCAPE.

Awareness is not a separate side system. It is Level 1 on every mountain: see reality, establish a useful baseline, then go deeper only where it belongs.

Nine-Mountain Awareness

0%0/27 core actions

These same checkmarks appear in My Ascent and on each Mountain page. One system, one source of progress.

1 · See reality

Complete the core baseline.

Enough information to orient the climb without turning Awareness into a giant project.

2 · Use the right tool

Tests stay on their mountain.

Validated screens are used where appropriate; structured audits are used where a clinical score would mislead.

3 · Return to My Ascent

Choose what to climb next.

My Ascent brings the nine mountains back together with levels, XP, next steps, weather, and milestone rewards.
