Age Well

Proof required

Submit your 14-day audit log covering all five domains (movement, sleep, social contact, lifestyle risks, cognitive activity), your calculated weekly averages for each domain, and a clear identification of your lowest-performing domain with evidence from the data.

What gets checked

• All five domains logged across 14 consecutive days — an audit covering only two or three domains cannot reliably identify the primary gap
• Sleep consistency measured as variation in wake time, not just average sleep duration — wake time variation is the more actionable circadian measure
• Lowest-performing domain identified from the data, not from prior assumption — the domain that surprises the submitter is often the most important to address

Common mistakes

• Auditing only the domains where performance is already acceptable — the purpose of the audit is to surface the lowest-performing area, which requires honest logging across all five
• Using highly variable weeks (holiday, illness, exceptional work period) as the baseline — a 14-day audit should represent typical life, not an outlier period
• Defining 'cognitively stimulating' too broadly — passive media consumption (television, most social media scrolling) does not qualify; active learning, reading, problem-solving, and creation do

Resources

What a verifier looks for

• Check that all five domains are represented in the log — an audit missing any domain is incomplete and the lowest-performing domain identification may be wrong
• Confirm sleep consistency is measured as wake time variation (standard deviation or range across 14 days), not simply average hours — these are different measures
• The identified lowest-performing domain must be supported by the data; if the submitter names a domain that appears adequate in the log, ask them to explain their scoring methodology

Proof required

Submit your 12-week behaviour log with daily compliance ticks, the domain-specific weekly measure (e.g. weekly movement minutes, wake-time variation score, social contact count), and any significant challenges or adaptations made during the programme.

What gets checked

• Behaviour change directly targets the lowest domain from M1 — a change in a different domain, however meaningful, does not address the identified gap
• 12 consecutive weeks of logging — a programme of fewer than 12 weeks does not provide sufficient evidence for habit formation in longevity-relevant behaviours
• Domain-specific measure recorded weekly, not just completion ticks — 'I exercised' without recording minutes does not allow comparison with M1 baseline or M3 outcome

Common mistakes

• Choosing a behaviour that is already partially established rather than the genuine lowest domain — comfortable changes produce weaker longevity signals
• Recording completion based on intention rather than actual completion — log at the end of each day or week, not at the start
• Abandoning the programme after a gap of 1–2 weeks and restarting from scratch, rather than continuing from where the gap occurred — longevity behaviour change accommodates interruptions; the cumulative record is what matters

Resources

What a verifier looks for

• Verify that the behaviour change explicitly targets the lowest domain identified in M1 — a change in a different domain requires the submitter to explain why the M1 finding changed
• 12 weeks of logging is the minimum — programmes of 8 weeks or fewer do not meet the M2 standard for longevity habit work
• Check that the domain-specific measure is present weekly, not only summarised — the week-by-week trend is the evidence of behaviour change consolidating over time

Proof required

Submit your 7-day final audit across all five domains, the comparison table with M1 and M3 averages, your 12-week compliance percentage, the 200–300 word reflection, and the attestation describing what the observer witnessed over the course of the programme.

What gets checked

• Comparison table covers all five longevity domains for both M1 and M3 — a table covering only the primary domain misses the cross-domain picture that 'age well' requires
• Reflection includes a specific, named next behaviour — 'continue exercising' is not sufficient; '150 minutes of walking per week' names what will happen
• Attestation describes observed behaviour over the course of the 12 weeks, not only character or general health impression — 'I saw them exercise every Tuesday and Thursday for three months' is the type of evidence needed

Common mistakes

• Selecting an attester who only became aware of the programme at the end — the core purpose of the attestation is witnessing the commitment over time, not confirming it retrospectively
• Writing a reflection that reports outcomes without engaging with the process — what changed, what was hard, what you learned, and what you will do next are all required; a summary of results alone does not meet the reflection standard
• Treating improvement in only the primary domain as success — the comparison table across all five domains may reveal that the primary domain improved while others declined, which is also a meaningful finding requiring reflection

Resources

What a verifier looks for

• The comparison table must cover all five domains — not only the primary behaviour domain — to confirm a whole-person improvement picture
• Reflection must be 200–300 words and name a specific next behaviour: vague intentions do not count as a plan
• Attestation must describe observed behaviour during the programme, not just endorse the person's general health or commitment in the abstract — ask the attester to describe specific things they witnessed
