30-Day Profiling Consolidated View

Note on dates

  • The vault does not store exact per-task assignment timestamps.
  • I used 3-5-26 as the start of the profiling sequence because that is the date you want reflected in the final version for Day 1.
  • Where the source notes use combined day ranges such as Day 3-4, Day 6-7, Day 23-24, and Day 25-26, I split them into separate day entries so the document reads clearly day by day.
  • Where a task was later consolidated into a synthesis note, I used that note’s update date as the submission date.
