Build a Weekly Consistency Score for Typing
Create a simple consistency score to track reliability, not just peak WPM, and make smarter training decisions.
Why peak score is not enough
A single high score can hide unstable day-to-day output. Reliability matters more for real work where performance must repeat across sessions.
Consistency metrics reveal whether your improvement is durable. Stable output is usually a better indicator of skill growth than isolated peaks.
When you finish a long run, note whether errors clustered at the end. If they did, your next training target is late-session focus, not early-session speed.

How to compute a useful score
Use average WPM, average accuracy, and variance across the week. Lower variance with steady quality should raise your consistency score.
Review the score weekly and pick one intervention when it drops. Small corrections applied early prevent long performance regressions.
If long sessions feel mentally heavy, break them into segments with a standing stretch between blocks. Sustainable posture supports sustainable speed.
Warm up before endurance work the way you would before exercise: easy lines first, then ramp. Jumping straight into a hard benchmark often wastes the first minute to nerves.
