XP & Levels
XP is GapFix's measure of learning effort. Every lesson item, Booster, and review earns it; levels mark how far you've come; and the XP store turns effort into streak protection and cosmetics. Two rules never bend: XP can't buy content, and money can't buy XP.
How you earn XP
A typical fully engaged day lands around 220 XP:
- Lesson items: roughly 50 XP each (a normal day has 2 core interactive items)
- Booster: about 75 XP for a completed interactive micro-session
- Daily Practice: about 20 XP for the 2-minute review
- Streak bonus: 25 XP for keeping the chain alive
On top of the basics:
- "Do this today" follow-up: +30 XP when you confirm the next day that you did the real-world action
- Variable rewards: some days drop bonus XP, 2× XP, a Streak Shield, or a mystery crate
- Daily XP Bonus: bonus slots that boost what you earn
- Morning Challenge: accept it and your next morning's learning earns 3× XP
One thing that earns nothing: re-reading a lesson you've already completed — no XP and no streak credit. XP always comes from new work, not repeat visits.
Levels
XP accumulates into levels — a long-arc marker of how much learning work you've put in. Your level only ever goes up; it's the odometer to your GapFix Score's speedometer.
What XP is for
XP spends on protection, meta, and cosmetics — never content:
- Streak Shield (500), Streak Repair (800), Rest Day (400)
- An extra Plan Reassessment credit (1,200)
- Widget styles "Ladder" and "Terminal" (400 each)
See "Spending XP: Shields, Repairs & Rest Days" for the full catalog with caps and conditions.
The hard rules
XP never buys content. Lessons and Boosters can't be unlocked with XP on any tier — the free tier's meters (1 lesson-day per plan week, 1 Booster a day) aren't bypassable with points.
XP is never for sale. There's no way to buy XP with money, and no way to convert XP into money. It's earned by learning, full stop.
Protection is capped. Shields max out at 3, repairs at 1 credit — so streaks stay honest.
