# The emotional progression

| Stage | User thought | Proof |
|---|---|---|
| Relief | “It is watching.” | selective, sourced changes |
| Recognition | “It tracks my questions.” | relevant Threads and priced reads |
| Agency | “My correction changed it.” | visible tutoring consequence |
| Momentum | “My read is live and moving.” | an active Position re-pricing on my question as evidence lands |
| Learning | “I can watch the read sharpen.” | the track of how the read moved, with reasoning and evidence |
| Trust | “It can handle this.” | safe, granular autonomy |
| Ownership | “This contains my judgment.” | durable, attributable artifact |
