Time to Human
Vibe score = (connection × 10) ÷ (transit + cost + energy tax). Score ≥ 1 → GO.
Permission math for the day your battery is too low to leave the house.
Mental-health ROI, made deterministic. Low-energy days invert the usual cost/benefit — a 45-minute drive that is trivial at 9/10 energy becomes prohibitive at 3/10. The tool weights it for you.

Quick answer
Permission math for the day your battery is too low to leave the house.
Key points
- ▸ Energy tax = (11 − energy) × 5. Low energy multiplies the cost-unit denominator.
- ▸ Connection intensity (1-10) is the multiplier on the numerator.
- ▸ Score ≥ 1.0 → GO. Below → STAY with no guilt.
- ▸ Removes the argument loop: you already did the math.
Examples
- Low-battery decliningEnergy 3, transit 45, cost $25, connection 6 → score 0.36 → STAY.
- High-energy easy yesEnergy 7, transit 10, cost $0, connection 9 → score 2.25 → GO.
When to use which tool
- Time to HumanMain tool — social battery + verdict.Weighed social ROI — does the connection payoff beat the transit, cost, and energy tax of leaving the house?
- Social LatencyStripped numerical variant of the same formula.Compare the benefit of a social plan against the time, energy, and money it costs.
- CYAN · STABLE — Score >= 1.5 — clear GO, energy surplus covers the tax.
- GOLD · GUARDED — Score 0.8-1.5 — borderline; shorten transit or raise connection weight.
- MAGENTA · CRITICAL — Score < 0.8 — STAY, the math already flagged burnout risk.

Frequently asked questions
› Is it self-serving to compute a way out of plans? Trust & accuracy
No — it prevents drained days. Consistent low-energy attendance trains resentment.
› What if the connection score is low for family?
Honesty wins. The tool measures your actual connection intensity, not obligation.
› How should I use this guide with a Kefiw tool? How-to
Use the guide as the plan and the linked Kefiw tool as the check. Read the steps first, try the move manually, then use the tool to compare outputs, catch edge cases, and decide whether the result actually fits your task.
› What mistake do tool guides help avoid? Troubleshooting
Tool guides help avoid using a utility mechanically without understanding what you are trying to accomplish. Most word, writing, and text utilities are fast, but speed can hide context mistakes. Know whether you are solving a puzzle, cleaning copy, drafting a line, or checking a rule.
› Can a tool guide help me learn the skill? How-to
A tool guide can help you learn if you pause before accepting the output and ask why it worked. Compare your first guess with the tool result, look for the rule or pattern, and repeat that review. Passive copying solves one task; active review builds the skill.
