SEVEN-DAY ACCOUNTABILITY APP EVALUATION

Companion guide:
https://www.mentor-app.io/guides/accountability-apps-for-iphone/

Use one tool for one small business deliverable. This is a personal fit
check, not evidence that an app causes better productivity. A notebook
or your existing task list is a valid starting point.

BEFORE THE WEEK

Dates:
Deliverable and deadline:
What counts as finished:
Current method:
Where that method breaks down:
Tool or setup to test:
One feature expected to help:
Planned work periods:
Information needed from other people, and when to ask for it:
Information that must remain private:
Any cost, trial end date, or cancellation reminder to check:

DAILY RECORD (copy this block for each day)

Date:
Planned action and start time, or planned day off:
Started as planned? Yes / No / Not scheduled
Work actually finished:
Evidence or location of the work (keep sensitive details private):
Obstacle or missing information:

END-OF-WEEK REVIEW

Planned starts:
Actual starts:
Deliverable: Finished / Partly finished / Not started
Evidence of the deliverable:
Total minutes spent maintaining the tool:
One concrete way the tool helped:
One unmet need:
Other changes that affected the week:
Decision: Keep / Change one setting / Return to the previous method
Reason:
Next week's single change:
Next review date:

Keep app activity, work completed, and business results separate.
For example, marking follow-up sessions complete does not establish
that customers replied or bought. Record those outcomes separately.

WORKED EXAMPLE (hypothetical)

Deliverable: Send one scoped proposal by Friday.
Plan: Scope Monday; estimate Wednesday; final review Friday.
Record: Two of three starts; scope and estimate complete; proposal unsent.
Obstacle: A client requirement was still missing on Friday.
Tool maintenance: Twelve minutes over the week.
Decision: Keep the useful task record. Ask for missing requirements
while drafting the scope, then book the review after the reply.
This example illustrates a review; it is not a measured product result.
