04 · Effort Intelligence

Weather + Terrain.
One Score.

TerrainIQ is the only app that combines environmental conditions AND terrain grade into a single effort score — so you know exactly how hard today really is.

🌡️ Weather Effort
Environmental Load
🌡️Heat & Humidity — Steadman heat index equation calculates exact physiological load.
🌫️Air Quality — AQI above 100 adds meaningful effort penalty.
💨Wind resistance — headwind penalty calculated by activity type.
⛰️ Terrain Effort
Grade & Altitude Load
📐Grade penalty — Minetti metabolic curve calculates uphill cost by grade %.
🏔️Altitude penalty — VO2max reduction above 2,000ft, steeper above 5,000ft.
😓Cumulative fatigue — effort score rises dynamically as elevation gain accumulates.
🏅 Trail Difficulty
Dynamic Rating
🟢Easy — gentle grade, low altitude, minimal gain.
🟡Moderate — rolling terrain, some altitude gain.
🟠Hard / Expert — steep grades, high altitude, significant cumulative gain.

Your Tactical
Field Coach

Not a pre-activity weather report. A real-time tactical coach that fires when something meaningful happens — steep grade, altitude change, heat spike, wildfire detection.

Under 12 seconds. Spoken aloud. Specific to your exact conditions. Like having a coach in your ear who can see everything you can't.

⛰️
Grade crosses 15%
"Steep climb ahead. Shorten your stride and keep breathing steady."
🌡️
Heat index spikes above 95°F
"Heat index just hit 105°F. Slow down and hydrate now."
🏔️
Altitude crosses 6,000ft
"You're in thin air now. Expect 10% more effort, breathe deep."
⬇️
Steep descent detected
"Sharp descent. Lean back, shorten your stride, watch your footing."
🔥
Wildfire detected 8 miles away
"Smoke detected northwest. Wind toward you. Stay alert."
