Check-In History and Progress Trend

One check-in is a snapshot. A season of them is a story. The Check-In History tab on every Key Result keeps every weekly record you've ever submitted, and OKR Tracker builds a progress trend chart from that time series — so you can see not just where a KR is, but how it got there.

Check-in history with the progress trend chart ## The history list

The history tab lists every weekly check-in for the Key Result, newest first — each with its Check-In Date, Week Number, recorded Current Metric Value, calculated Progress %, Confidence Level, and the narrative you wrote (Accomplishments, Risks/Blockers, Next Week Plan).

Because each check-in is stored as an immutable record, the list is a faithful log. Nothing is overwritten or quietly edited. If a number needs correcting, you add a new check-in — the original entry stays.

Why immutability matters

• A defensible audit trail → when a quarterly business review asks "when did this slip?", the history answers with dates, not memories.
• Honest signals over time → you can see exactly which week confidence dropped to Red and what the owner said was blocking it.
• Compliance-friendly → an unalterable record of who reported what, and when, holds up under scrutiny.

How to read the trend

The progress trend chart plots Progress % across the weeks you've checked in:

• A steady climb → the KR is compounding week over week. Keep going.
• A flat line → progress has stalled. Two flat weeks in a row is exactly what triggers an at-risk escalation — see Reminders and At-Risk Escalation.
• A late spike → a lot of movement crammed into the last week before a deadline. Worth a conversation about whether the KR was scoped realistically.

Pair the curve with the confidence colour on each point to separate "behind but confident" from "on pace but worried."
