The room at a glance

Two different things are measured here. State is whether the room is more activated or more settled. Convergence is whether people are moving together, in whatever direction. Neither reading grades the session.

How the room's state moved

The room's average heart-rhythm variability across the session, with what you guided laid over the top — so you can see what each cue did to the room.

What you did vs. how the room responded

Entry and exit

Entry and exit are the two ends of the line above. They answer "did the room net-move?" — the timeline answers "what happened in between." On their own they can miss the dips and peaks within the session, which is why we show both. Entry is taken from a settled baseline window, not the first noisy minute.

Each band, entry to exit

So you can see what happened for each person, not only the room. Change is shown as a direction, never a grade — and a change smaller than the band's own measurement noise is marked no clear change.

Variability shown as rMSSD in milliseconds. Neither direction is better. Bands that didn't hold clean signal long enough to compare fairly are marked, not guessed.

Were people moving together?

A separate question from state. Convergence tracks how closely the room's rhythms moved together, in whatever direction — it rises when people share a state, activated or settled.

For the facilitator

You already know when a room turns — you feel it. What's been missing is a record of it. This is that record: evidence under something you could already sense but couldn't show. It pairs best with your own notes — set the cue marks against what you were guiding, and against what participants report.

Signal coverage

Your notes

The numbers are only half of it. Set them against what you were guiding, and what you felt in the room that the data can't show — your read is what gives these measures meaning.
