Read the design assessment and test plan
Leading hypothesis: version 1 for Today.
This is a design assessment, not a measured behavioral result. Version 1 makes the cue, action and reason easiest to connect. Version 2 is better suited to Progress, and version 3 to a weekly reflection.

Test with men who match the intended audience
For an initial qualitative round, recruit 6–9 men aged 25–45. Rotate the order of the three designs. Give each person the same tasks: identify the cue and minimum, check in, undo, and find how to return after a miss. Do not show this assessment until afterward.
Record task success, confusion, whether a missed day feels recoverable, and which design they would return to. Small interviews reveal usability problems; they do not prove long-term effectiveness.
Then test the strongest candidates over several weeks with real commitments. Compare sustained follow-through, return after missed obligations, self-reported confidence, and reported life impact. Set the study length and sample size from baseline data before calling a winner.
