Walk through one ordinary week with a family of four and watch the Embers add up without anyone trying.
Here is one week for a family of four. Nothing heroic. Nothing they would not have done anyway.
Dad logs a one-on-one with his eight-year-old, twenty minutes at the park after school. +1 Ember.
Campfire night. Everyone gathers, one question, everyone answers, everyone taps in. +1 Ember. Campfires count once per week.
Mom and Dad take an hour for a coffee date and log it. +1 Ember.
The last family member submits their Pulse. That makes a full house for the week. +1 Ember. Their savings goal also crossed 100% this month. +1 Ember. Goals count once per month.
Five Embers. The family did not chase anything. They lived their week inside a structure that noticed.
Every qualifying activity earns exactly one Ember. Campfire completed, once per week. Full Family Pulse week, when every member submits. One-on-one logged, per date with a spouse or child. Family goal achieved, once per month. Referrals earn 5 Embers per family who joins. Streaks earn a bonus of 3 at four weeks, 5 at eight weeks, and 20 at fifty-two weeks. Founding families received a one-time 25.
There are no multipliers and no tiers that earn faster. A campfire is worth one Ember in your first month and one Ember in your third year. The record reflects presence, not optimization.
At two to four Embers per week, an active family earns roughly 100 to 180 Embers a year. At that pace, Emunah at 365 Embers takes fifteen to twenty-four months. The threshold is calibrated to the habit, not the hustle.
Every tier, what it means, and how the separate Referral ladder works for families who help others find their way here.
