What this tool does
- This is a rule-based worksheet, not an AI coach: it checks for the five signals you can see above and nothing else.
- Nothing is uploaded. Print the sheet or export the CSV to keep your plan.
All results are calculated from the values above using the documented rules. Nothing is uploaded, and there is no AI model behind this tool.
How this tool works
- The check is rule-based: sentence length, a digit in the measure, a valid date, three or more actions, and at least one obstacle.
- It cannot judge whether a goal is genuinely achievable, only whether those five signals are present.
- No AI model reads your text; all checks happen locally with visible rules.

Questions & answers
Is this an AI coach?
No. It is five visible checks on the fields you fill in. The same input always produces the same result.
Why did Measurable fail?
The rule looks for a digit or a % sign in the measure field. Add a number, distance, date or a clear yes/no condition.
Can I print it?
Yes. Use Print for a paper copy, or export CSV to keep a structured version of the goal, actions and obstacles.
