🟡 YELLOW | STATUS Restricted
Denys L. Coates — 90 Day Pilot Status
Current State:
YELLOW (Managed Load, Watch Drift)
• Technical work
• Planning
• Admin
• Moderate training (Zone 2, mobility, strength skill work)
• Normal shift length
Restricted
• Max intensity training
• Sleep debt stacking
• Extended decisions under stress
• High stakes negotiations
• Back to back hard days
Required
• +60–90 min sleep opportunity
• Reduce activity load 10–20% next 48h
• Hydration + sodium + carbs post training
• Parasympathetic block (walks, breathing, sunlight)
Goal:
Push Recovery > Load for 2–3 days → return to Green
If ignored (failure mode)
Here’s the reality check:
If she keeps Activity 90+ while Sleep stays 80s:
You get:
Yellow → Orange → HRV drop → mood volatility → decision quality drop → authority risk
That’s exactly what Custos is here for.
My call (straight up)
Denys you’re:
• strong
• productive
• slightly over-driving the system
Which matches your personality type (high agency operators always overshoot).
So the play is:
don’t push — absorb
One light day now prevents a 5-day crash later.
