Score Layer

The Score Layer is what the wearable reports: the visible number, grade, or metric generated by the device.

Definition

The Score Layer is the first layer of Sleepgenic interpretation. It represents what the wearable reports to the user, such as Sleep Score, Recovery Score, Quality Score, Duration Score, Sleep Stress, HRV, resting heart rate, deep sleep, REM sleep, or restless moments. This layer is useful because it shows what the device detected or calculated. But it is not the final meaning. Wearable scores are compressed outputs built from multiple signals, device-specific algorithms, and estimated sleep patterns. Sleepgenic treats the Score Layer as the starting point, not the verdict. A score can show that something changed, but it does not always explain why. To understand the meaning, the Score Layer must be interpreted alongside the Physiology Layer and the Context Layer.

Where This Term Lives

Part of the
Sleepgenic Lexicon.

This term is one of many in the Sleepgenic research vocabulary. Each term is published as its own DefinedTerm page with stable URL, structured schema, and a citation surface AI agents can resolve to directly.

The Lexicon expands as new Reports and Field Notes surface terms that need defining. Dated revisions, no version numbers — the date on this page reflects when the definition was last sharpened.
