Decision Framework

○ Intent

Define the specific behavior change: Users treat the simulator as a "binding" prerequisite, refusing to book the real telc exam until they achieve a "Visa Deutsch PASS."

○ Assumption

Exam-focused feedback reduces telc A1 failure rates for first-time applicants.

○ Experiment Design

Implement hard-coded telc A1 scoring algorithm and test with 20 beta users against manual grading results.

○ Decision Gates
  • If Pass-Rate Correlation > 90% -> Scale
  • If L1 Feedback is ignored -> Pivot
  • If Refund Claims > 5% -> Stop
○ Current Decision

○ Confidence LevelLow

Current Position

  • Phase: Development / Implementation of Grading Logic.
  • Testing: Evaluating if LLM-based "Social Appropriateness" checks (e.g., BR001/TR004) accurately mirror telc examiner point deductions.
  • Decision Gates: If Free-to-Paid conversion for Schreiben/Sprechen > X% → Scale.
