Strictness Levels

When generating rules (via quick setup or generate-from-age), you can specify a strictness preset that shifts all rule defaults tighter or looser relative to the age-group baseline.

Level	Behavior
`strict`	Tighter limits across the board. Less screen time, more restrictive content ratings, stronger web filters, social features disabled. Best for families who want maximum protection.
`recommended`	Balanced defaults based on pediatric and child safety research. This is the default if no strictness is specified.
`relaxed`	Looser limits that give older children more autonomy. More screen time, broader content access, social features enabled with monitoring. Best for families who want a lighter touch.

Strictness is applied at rule-generation time. After generation, you can customize any individual rule. Changing strictness later requires re-generating rules (which overwrites existing configurations for that policy).

Example: Screen Time by Strictness (Age 10)

Strictness	Daily Limit	Bedtime
`strict`	60 min	8:00 PM
`recommended`	120 min	9:00 PM
`relaxed`	180 min	10:00 PM

Quick setup — Pass strictness to configure defaults during onboarding
Generate rules from age — Re-generate rules with a new strictness level
