Starting both treatments at the same time can hide signal clarity. A sequencing framework helps you know what changed and why.
TL;DR
- Baseline first, then sequence deliberately.
- One-variable changes improve interpretability.
- Define review windows before treatment starts.
- Document side effects and adherence in parallel.

What to track first
- Baseline and first-phase treatment window.
- Weekly zone scoring and capture consistency notes.
- Adherence + side effect log by date.
- Decision checkpoint before adding second variable.
Decision checklist
- Is your baseline strong enough to compare future windows?
- Did you pick one starting variable intentionally?
- Do you have a minimum review window before layering changes?
- Are decision rules written before execution?
Track-first next step
Start with a clean baseline and compare weekly captures in 4-8 week windows before changing your routine. Use the start path if you need the fastest way to build a reliable baseline.
