Display Skill Targets in SKI:IQ Metrics and Clarify Rating System Mapping

Summary

Improve transparency and usability of the SKI:IQ Metrics → Skill view by:

  1. Displaying Coaching Skill Targets (30 Levels) directly within the SKI:IQ Metrics flow.

  2. Providing a clear UI mapping between SKI:IQ rating tiers and Coaching Skill Levels.

This would allow users to understand progress toward goals in one place and reduce confusion caused by having two parallel rating systems.


Current Behavior

  1. In the Metrics page for a session, users can tap “SKI:IQ Metrics” and navigate to the “Skill” page.

  2. Conceptually, this Skill page corresponds to the same skills shown in the Coaching section.

  3. However:

    • The Skill page under SKI:IQ Metrics does not display Coaching Targets (the 30-level progression shown in Coaching).

    • Users must switch back to the Coaching page to see:

      • Their target level

      • How far they are from the next level

  4. CARV currently uses two parallel rating systems:

    • SKI:IQ score & titles (e.g., Alpine Ace at ~130, Mountain Master at ~140, etc.)

    • Coaching Skill Levels (30 total levels)

There is no explicit UI explanation of how these two systems relate to each other.


Expected / Desired Behavior

1. Show Coaching Targets in SKI:IQ Metrics → Skill View

  • Display the current Coaching target level alongside each skill in the SKI:IQ Metrics → Skill page.

  • Optionally show:

    • Current level

    • Target level

    • Progress to next level (e.g., progress bar or delta)

This would allow users to:

  • Assess performance and goal distance without switching pages

  • Use Metrics as a true “single source of truth” during post-run review

Note: This appears to be a display/UI synchronization change only, as the target data already exists in Coaching.


2. Clarify the Relationship Between SKI:IQ Ratings and Coaching Levels

Provide a clear UI hint explaining how the two systems map to each other. Possible approaches:

  • A small info tooltip near SKI:IQ rating titles

  • A mapping table or visual scale (e.g., “SKI:IQ 130–139 ≈ Coaching Levels X–Y”)

  • A short explanatory line such as:

    “SKI:IQ is an aggregate performance score derived from Coaching Skill Levels.”

This would:

  • Reduce cognitive load for advanced users

  • Help users understand long-term progression across systems

  • Make SKI:IQ titles feel more actionable and less abstract


Rationale

  • Advanced and data-driven users frequently move between Metrics and Coaching.

  • Currently, progress tracking is fragmented across pages.

  • Improving visibility and consistency would:

    • Increase user confidence in the scoring system

    • Improve goal-oriented training workflows

    • Require minimal backend work if targets are already defined


Additional Notes

  • This request focuses on UI/UX clarity, not changes to scoring logic.

  • The proposed changes should be backward-compatible and low-risk.
