Our persuasion charter

We shape what people notice, feel and do, using only techniques we would be willing to show them.

This page is that showing. Every lever the product pulls is named below, with the place you can go and look at it. We teach AI governance, so a company that would not describe its own persuasion would be asking you for a trust it had not earned.

What we use, and where it lives

LeverWhere it lives
CuriosityThe question in the hero. You answer before anything is asked of you.
Instant competence feedbackThe graded diagnosis: what you caught, what you missed, and the misconception, against a source we cite.
Loss aversionThe save point. It is honest because the loss is real: the grading route stores nothing, so the score genuinely ends when the tab does.
Endowed progressYour record opens with the answer you already gave, not with an empty page.
Open loopsEvery grade ends in a follow up question, so there is always a next step rather than a dead end.
Goal gradientShort milestones: the next topic and the next badge, never a wall of one hundred and forty four.
Commitment and consistencyThe one routing question after you join, and the sentence you write about why you are here.
IdentityThe record. We talk about the person who can prove it, because that is what the product actually produces.
The IKEA effectYour own explanations, artifacts and dossier are shown front and center. The work is yours.
ReciprocityFree instruments, free lessons, a free graded try. Each one ends in a save point rather than an email wall.
Social proofReal learner outcomes, with their consent, or nothing at all.
ScarcityReal caps only: a founding cohort with a seat count, a live clinic with a room.
UrgencyLive finish dates and verified regulatory dates, both of which you can check yourself.

What we will not do

  • Subliminal content of any kind.
  • Fake countdown timers, or scarcity we made up.
  • Invented statistics, and invented testimonials.
  • Confirm-shaming: no decline button that insults the person pressing it.
  • Guilt notifications.
  • Cancellation that is harder than signing up.
  • Claiming we are the only teach-back platform, or any other superlative we cannot show you.

If we break this, tell us

If anything on this site pressures you in a way this page does not describe, that is a defect and we want to hear about it. Write to us and name the page.
