What is a Level Score?
Your Level Score is how NestEgg measures your weekly performance. Here's how it's calculated and why it matters for your Nest.
Your Level Score
Your Level Score is the percentage of your weekly EP target you’ve achieved. It’s the single number that feeds into your Nest’s performance.
Level Score = (Exercise Points Earned ÷ Weekly Target) × 100
If you’re Level 5 (target: 400 EP) and you earn 440 EP in a week, your Level Score is 110%.
If you earn 320 EP, your Level Score is 80%.
That’s it. No mystery. The number you see on your Home screen is your Level Score — the ring that fills as your EP accumulate through the week.
How your Level Score feeds the Nest
Your Nest Score is the average of all 5 Level Scores in your Nest. Not the total — the average.
Nest Score = (Level Score₁ + Level Score₂ + Level Score₃ + Level Score₄ + Level Score₅) ÷ 5
This design is deliberate:
- One superstar can’t carry a Nest
- One struggling Egg doesn’t sink it
- Everyone matters equally
The leaderboard
Nest Scores are cumulative across the entire Challenge. The leaderboard ranks Nests by Total Nest Score — the sum of weekly Nest Scores over all 4 weeks.
| Week | Your Nest Score | Cumulative Total |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 95% | 95% |
| 2 | 102% | 197% |
| 3 | 88% | 285% |
| 4 | 107% | 392% |
The Nest with the highest Total Nest Score after Week 4 wins.
A fair competition in action
Here’s how the Level system makes your Level Score fair:
| Egg | Level | Target | EP Earned | Level Score | Rank |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Couch Egg | 1 | 150 | 180 | 120% | 1st |
| Weekend Warrior | 4 | 300 | 330 | 110% | 2nd |
| Fitness Enthusiast | 7 | 600 | 600 | 100% | 3rd |
| Elite Athlete | 12 | 1,700 | 1,600 | 94% | 4th |
Couch Egg is at the top. They worked harder relative to their capacity than anyone else. The absolute EP numbers are irrelevant — what matters is the effort relative to the Level.
The Tiered Taper
If your EP significantly exceed your target — which usually means you started at a Level below your true fitness — a tiered taper compresses the surplus for leaderboard purposes.
| EP Band | Credit Rate |
|---|---|
| 0 → next Level’s target | 100% (full credit) |
| Next Level → +2 Levels | 50% |
| +2 → +3 Levels | 20% |
| Beyond +3 Levels | 10% |
The taper only affects your Level Score for the leaderboard. It does not affect promotion — the system always uses your actual EP when deciding if you should move up a Level.
Every workout still earns positive EP. There is no point at which effort stops contributing to your Nest. The rate decreases above target, but it’s always positive.
What you see on your Home screen
Your Home screen shows:
- Level Score ring — the percentage filling up through the week
- EP earned vs target — your raw numbers
- Workout count — how many sessions this week
- Strength count — qualifying strength workouts
- Nest card — all 5 members’ Level Scores side by side
The Nest card is where Social Gravity lives. You can see who’s put in the work this week and who might need a nudge.
The bottom line: your Level Score is effort, relative to you. Hit your target, help your Nest. That’s the whole game.
