A person writes each visit down, and your employer never gets names.
Usage in a Zen Garden is counted by method, not assumed. This page states exactly who records a visit, what gets written, what your employer receives, and where every public figure came from.
No login, no badge scan, no app and no camera anywhere in the path.
The name and a contact number are what turn a pile of visits into a count of people who came back.
No name, no number, no employee ID, and no visit tied to a person, a team or a floor.
It carries the imprecision of any attendance record kept by a person. We would rather write that here than have it found later.
This page is written for the person who has to verify a claim before saying yes. The Recovery Standard, Volume I, is the full published method. It includes the details we could not hide, because we are asking for trust, not applause.
One published usage record, and where it came from.
A person keeps the count. Not a turnstile.
There is no login, no badge scan, no app and no camera anywhere in the path. What there is instead is the resident Zen Expert, in the room every working day, writing it down.
A visit log is kept in the room, with a name in it
Which zone, how long, and whether this is a first visit or a return. The Zen Expert also asks for a name and a contact number and writes both down. That is what turns a pile of visits into a count of people who came back, and it is the same record in every room.
The client receives the count, and nothing under it
The Zen Expert reconciles the day's zone entries into visits, and the count is what leaves the building. A visitor gives their name to the person in front of them rather than to their employer's systems, and that difference is the whole of it. Nothing you receive attributes a visit to a person, a team or a floor.
The log is the basis for a client usage report
The reporting cadence and delivery process are agreed before a room goes live. A partial week, an office closure or any gap in the log is stated as a gap rather than filled with a plausible number.
A name is taken in the room, and it stays with us.
Telling a first visit from a return means knowing who walked in. So a name is taken. The promise was never that we do not know who came; it is a promise about who never finds out.
The Zen Expert asks for a name and a contact number, writes both down, and recognises the people who keep coming back.
That is why the new-versus-returning split is a record rather than an estimate.
They are held by Zariyaa and go no further. They are not passed to the employer or included in a client usage report.
What we hold, and what you can ask us to correct or erase, is set out in our privacy policy.
People walk in unannounced because what they did is not reported back to the company paying them. Take that away and the walking-in stops, and once the walking-in stops there is nothing left worth measuring and nothing worth paying us for.
It is not a setting a large enough client could have had turned off, because the count is built on it.
What counts as a visit, and what does not.
A number is only comparable if the definition behind it holds still. Here is what is recorded, what the employer never receives, and the honest position on the boundary cases.
- ZoneBalance, Blossom or Bliss
- DurationHow long the visit lasted
- TypeFirst-time, or returning
Alongside those three, the Zen Expert takes a name and a contact number. Both stay with Zariyaa, and both are what make the first-time count something other than a guess.
- Who cameNo name, no number, no employee ID
- Anything per personNo visit tied to an individual, a team or a floor
- Anything saidWhat happens in the room stays in it
What the employer receives is counts by zone. Nothing on this list is included, and requests for it are declined.
| The case | Counts as | Why it is drawn there |
|---|---|---|
| Somebody steps in, looks around and steps out again | One visit | A visit is a single entry into the room, recorded whatever its duration. |
| A person comes back later the same day | Two visits | The second entry is its own visit, on the same day as the first. |
| A person moves from Balance through to Bliss in one sitting | One visit | Not three. The Zen Expert reconciles the day's zone entries into sittings before a client usage report is prepared. |
| A floor event held inside the room | Still open | Until it is agreed we will not put a threshold on this page, because a definition invented for a website is exactly the kind of thing that gets quietly revised later. |
A record with its window attached.
This is the usage record currently cleared for publication. It stays with its floor and its window, so it cannot be mistaken for a prediction about yours.

A two-day trial, counted exactly this way.
A working Zen Garden can go into your office for two days, with a Zen Expert present. Scope, timing and commercial terms are confirmed in writing before anything is installed.
The same method, and the same line between what we hold and what you receive.
You hold it with its window and population stated, so nobody mistakes two days for a steady state. It is yours whether you go ahead or not.
Zariyaa sold yoga days and workshops inside offices for years before any of this, and they end when they end. That is precisely why the room had to produce a number instead of a good afternoon.
