How to triage caseload exceptions from workout logs
Caseload reviews only scale when coaches triage exceptions from workout logs first—not when every client gets the same deep rewrite pass.

Start with exceptions, not every client's full log
A useful caseload triage starts with missed sessions, flat loads, and constraint notes on the roster view. If coaches open every log the same way, review time collapses into busywork. This is a reading method for exception-first caseload triage—not software evaluation of template reuse tools, and not a hybrid group class roster review.
Deep-review only the clients who need a next-week call
Missed main lifts, stalled progressions, or travel weeks usually earn a rewrite, hold, or simplify decision. Clean adherence with steady loads can wait for a lighter check. Ignore calendar pressure to rewrite everyone when the log shows only a few clients need an edit.
Put the keep-or-edit call back on the program
Even a clean triage fails if the next action lives only in a coach notebook. Attach the keep, hold, or simplify call to the program so clients see it when the workout opens, and keep the exception signals visible for the following week.
Keep the Lyfta nudge natural
