Measure automaticity subjectively on a numerical scale…

Measure automaticity subjectively on a numerical scale throughout formation to make the logarithmic progress curve visible and prevent interpreting normal midpoint difficulty as evidence of failure.

Why This Is a Principle

Derives from Knowledge that exists only in tacit form degrades without… (knowledge without externalization degrades undetected), Self-monitoring of behavior produces significant… (self-monitoring improves goal attainment), and Habit automaticity develops along a logarithmic curve… (automaticity follows logarithmic curve). This prescribes a specific measurement practice to counter subjective misperception of progress during the 'valley of disappointment.' Actionable protocol that follows from understanding formation curves.
