Failure Horizon is the system’s projection of when the Athlete will fail to execute the prescription if the next 72 hours of training continue as planned. The system flags the horizon *before* the Athlete misses a session or executes a 0.31 interval. Inputs include Readiness Ratio, recent Execution Precision trend, mechanical-work accumulation against the True Normal, and any logged discomfort (knee, back, sleep). When the horizon is inside 48 hours, the prescription rewrites before failure occurs.

Protocols: Protocol 11 — Failure Horizon; Protocol 10 — Adaptive Workout

The metric traverses the closed loop: Intent is the .zwo prescription the system computed against the Athlete’s True Normal. Telemetry is the .fit recording of the executed session. Adaptation is the longitudinal movement of the metric itself, logged against the True Normal and feeding back into the next day’s prescription via Protocol 10 (Adaptive Workout).
