VELOARCHITECT

W/kg is the public-domain power-to-weight ratio; Veloarchitect does not redefine it. The Veloarchitect protocol reads W/kg against the Athlete's True Normal and against Indoor→Outdoor Translation, not against cycling category brackets (Cat 4 = 2.5 W/kg, etc.). Category brackets are population-derived and ignore the Athlete's own longitudinal record. The Athlete's indoor W/kg at FTP and outdoor W/kg on a 4,500-ft gran fondo are different distributions of the same engine — Protocol 15 reads the Translation Factor between them.

Protocols: Protocol 15 — Indoor→Outdoor Translation; 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).
