THE PLAIT GUIDE
HRV trends: your baseline, your context
Plait makes HRV easier to inspect alongside sleep, recovery and meals. It does not assign a universal “good” HRV number, grade your diet from HRV, or promise a percentage improvement from a morning routine.
Compare like with like
Use your own recent readings from the same provider. HRV is shown in milliseconds, while recovery and readiness use different scales. Plait no longer substitutes a readiness curve when HRV is missing. Calendar gaps remain visible, and the recent baseline states how many observations were available.
Treat a routine change as context
If you change meal timing, breathing exercises, meditation or your morning schedule, record what you actually changed. A before-and-after chart does not isolate that change from training, travel or a different sleep schedule. Plait has no clinical experiment or causal-analysis feature behind the chart.
Keep the next step practical
Use Today’s Focus to inspect available signals and the Meals section to follow your weighed plan. Do not compare your HRV with an elite athlete’s screenshot or interpret an age comparison as a personal diagnosis. Plait’s nutrition plan remains based on its displayed calorie estimate and selected goal, rather than a desired HRV score.
