A stability score turns subjective hairline worry into a repeatable signal. The value is not the exact number, it is trend direction across consistent windows.
TL;DR
- Score the same hairline zones each week.
- Use the same capture setup every session.
- Compare score trends over 4-8 week windows.
- Never use one score alone for major decisions.

What to track first
- Weekly frontal and temple captures with fixed setup.
- Hairline stability score for each zone.
- Confidence flag if setup consistency drifts.
- Context notes: haircut, stress, routine changes.
Decision checklist
- Are score changes consistent across multiple windows?
- Do photo comparisons support the same trend?
- Were scoring rules applied consistently each week?
- If unclear, continue tracking before changing routine.
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.
