Put something
real on the line.
Every other app asks “did you do it?” Ambition asks “if you don’t, what should happen?” Money to a cause. An alert to your partner. A locked world. Loss-framed — because loss is what actually moves us.
You keep the $20 only by shipping. Verified streak, no manual check-offs.
Pick what you’d hate to lose.
Money to your cause
Auto-charged on a miss — split 50% to a charity you choose, 50% to keep Ambition running.
Anti-charity
The strongest deterrent: your money goes somewhere you’d hate. StickK-style loss aversion, dialed up.
Notify your partner
Your accountability partner gets the “you missed” alert. Reputation on the line, not just a streak.
Miss enough, and it locks.
Three critical misses — or a sustained low Execution Score — and the dashboard, goals and rewards seal. Your stake is at risk. One recovery action reopens the world. Your levels stay safe; this isn’t punishment, it’s a stop.
Sealed.

Falling isn’t failing.
A kind, deliberate recovery — three ways. The world reopens immediately; the climb continues from where you fell.
Pay a dollar
The smallest honest price for slipping — 50% to your cause. Reopen and move on.
Recovery challenge
Do one real thing now: 5,000 steps, a 10-minute meditation, a journal reflection, or clear one overdue task.
Partner approval
A human witness verifies you’re back on track — not an algorithm.
Slips that add up to something.
Every recovery payment funds a cause you pick. Measurable good — not a casino quietly pocketing your misses.
