The instrument
RUN SIX FUTURES THROUGH THE MATH THAT KEEPS WINGS ON.
rainflow · mean-stress correction · Miner's rule · your own record
Scenario A · stay the course
THE PAYCHECK IS REAL. SO IS THE BILL.
A1 · FULL LOAD + OT
44 hr/wk · the worst-year spectrum
income · illustrative1.10× base
wear rate≈0.44 / yr
next ΔD = 1.0≈2.3 years
The grind replays the run-up. Highest pay, fastest burn.
SYNTHETIC YEAR · W 0–10 · ONE DAY PER TICK
A2 · STATUS QUO
40 hr/wk · current spectrum holds
income · illustrative1.00× base
wear rate0.24 / yr
next ΔD = 1.0≈4.2 years
The charitable assumption — history says it drifts toward A1.
SYNTHETIC YEAR · W 0–10 · ONE DAY PER TICK
Scenario B · negotiate
KEEP THE FLOOR. DROP THE APPROVAL GATE.
B1 · 32 HOURS
approval-gate program dropped · key role kept
income · illustrative≈0.80× base
wear rate≈0.17 / yr
next ΔD = 1.0≈5.9 years
80% of the income, 30% less wear.
SYNTHETIC YEAR · W 0–10 · ONE DAY PER TICK
B2 · 24 + 20
24 hr contract · 20 hr own venture, protected
income · illustrative≈0.68× base
wear rate≈0.13 / yr
next ΔD = 1.0≈7.7 years
Salary floor under the launch. D stays below 2.0 through 2031.
SYNTHETIC YEAR · W 0–10 · ONE DAY PER TICK
Scenario C · leap
HIGHEST CEILING. WIDEST ERROR BARS.
C1 · QUIT, NO AWARD
50 hr own venture · startup stress · yr-1
income · illustrative≈0.19× base
wear rate0.20 → 0.14 / yr
efficiency · yr 1lowest on panel
Structure survives it. The economics carry the risk.
SYNTHETIC YEAR · W 0–10 · ONE DAY PER TICK
C2 · QUIT + GRANT
50 hr own venture · research grant awarded
income · illustrative≈0.71× base
wear rate≈0.10 / yr
next ΔD = 1.0≈a decade
The grant relocates the approval gauge. One binary dependency.
SYNTHETIC YEAR · W 0–10 · ONE DAY PER TICK

Without the instrument
OVERWHELMED, HE WOULD HAVE LEAPT AT C1 — COLD. NO TRANSITION.
Eight resignations. Eight cold jumps.Escape is a pattern — not a plan.This time, the panel is lit.
The data doesn't decide for him — it steadies him. Twelve years of his own record turn fear into a flight plan: eyes open, floor intact, future priced. The leap becomes a climb.
Monday morning
OBJECTIVE: GO IN PREPARED. AIM AT B2.
Will the employer accept?Is the prediction even accurate?Time will tell.
But this employee walks in with twelve years of his own flight data in his pocket — more empowered than he ever would have been without it.
