Balancing speed and accuracy early on

Curious how new reporters are approaching benchmarks: are you pushing to sustain 200–225 Q&A with 98–99% realtime translation, or prioritizing stroke economy and conflict resolution first and letting speed follow? I’m seeing better retention when I cap at 210 wpm and force 99%+ translation on Case CATalyst with a 32k dictionary, but that slows turnaround — what’s working for you in the first six months?

I’ve had the best results with a ‘3 up/7 down’ drill: 3 minutes at 230 Q&A, then 7 at 205 while forcing 99%+ in Case CATalyst; after each set I only define the five most frequent conflicts from that take. Are you using ‘Brief It’ during the down portion? Capping defs at five keeps speed pressure without wrecking translation.

I hold 210–220 bursts but mapped a flag stroke (STPH-BG) that prints @@ so I can batch-define every new term in Case CATalyst in a 3‑minute pass after each set — @k_wright76 your cap‑five pairs well with it; do you pre‑brief 8–10 notice terms?
