How it works
Duel is what you write before drift wins. Five phases. Real escrow. The money holds you to it — not an app, not a nudge, not a streak.

Phase 1 · Set
Pick 3–7 standards, worded tightly enough to grade binary. Set duration. Pick who benefits if you miss. This is the step most people skip in their head — Duel forces you to commit it in writing.
Example: Run 4km, 5 days a week. No phone in bed. Two deep-work blocks daily.
Phase 2 · Stake
Choose a stake that stings. We authorise a hold on your card or bank — no charge, just a hold, like a hotel booking. The money only moves at settlement, and only if you miss.
Suggested range: $50–$500. Below $50 it’s noise. Above $500, most people hedge.
Phase 3 · Sign
Review the full contract. Type your name to sign. If it’s a duel, your opponent gets an invite and must sign within 48 hours. Once both sign, the contract goes live and the clock starts.
Phase 4 · Settle (daily)
Each morning, tick off which standards you hit yesterday. That’s it. The ledger builds — day by day, pass or miss — and you can see your opponent’s ledger in parallel. No streaks to worry about. Just the ledger.
Phase 5 · Resolve
When the duration ends, we count misses against the threshold you set. If you’re above the line, your stake is released. If you’re below, it transfers — to your opponent (duel), to the beneficiary (solo), or to your counter-cause (anti-charity).
Settlement is final. There’s a 72-hour dispute window for ambiguity, but not for excuses.
