Correct + fast
Move forward
The current skill is secure enough to unlock a harder task.
Decision engine
How Mentora decides what to practise next.
Mentora is not just marking answers. It reads accuracy, timing, and syllabus links together, then chooses the task most likely to move the student forward.
Every answer updates the path.

Answer signals
The same score is not always the same learning state.
Two students can both get a question right and still need different practice. One may be ready to stretch; the other may need fluency before the method becomes reliable.
Correct + slow
Review fluency
The idea is forming, but speed is not reliable enough yet.
Wrong + fast
Check the broken step
A fast miss can point to a misconception or careless pattern.
Wrong + slow
Repair the foundation
A slow miss often means the prerequisite needs attention first.
Prerequisite map
The decision uses the course map, not just the latest question.
If quadratic graphs are shaky because factorisation is weak, more graph questions may not help yet. Mentora can step back to the smaller missing skill, repair it, then return to the harder topic.
Current skill
What the question was actually testing.
Prerequisites
Earlier skills needed to solve it cleanly.
Dependents
Later topics that become harder if this skill stays weak.
Review status
Whether an older skill is fading and needs to reappear.
Accuracy is not enough
A correct answer can still be fragile if it took too long or depended on too much trial and error.
Concepts are connected
One question can update the current skill, earlier prerequisites, and later topics that depend on it.
Fragile skills return
A concept can come back as review before it becomes a bigger gap inside a harder topic.
The next task has a job
Each task is selected to repair, review, check readiness, or move the student forward.
Example path
Factorisation first. Quadratic graphs after.
The goal is not to slow the student down. It is to choose the shortest repair that makes the next important skill reachable.
Missed graph question
The student gets a quadratic graph question wrong.
Map check
The system checks linked prerequisites and finds factorisation is unstable.
Repair task
A short factorisation set rebuilds the missing method.
Readiness check
A faster attempt confirms the repair is holding.
Return to graphs
Quadratic graphs come back when the prerequisite can carry them.
What people see
One decision creates different useful views.
The same learning signal is translated for the person using it: a task for the student, confidence for the parent, and focus for the tutor.
Student
One focused task to do next, instead of a long unsorted worksheet.
Parent
A clearer view of which gap is being repaired and whether practice is helping.
Tutor
Evidence for where the next session should spend time.
