- Prerequisite Mapping: Identify essential foundational concepts needed before tackling the topic.
- Plain-English Teaching: Explain the topic across four layers, from a 12-year-old's level to an expert's level.
- Analogy Building: Create three distinct analogies and explicitly point out their limitations.
- Misconception Detection: Identify and correct the top 10 common misunderstandings beginners might have.
- Progressive Quiz: Test knowledge retention through increasingly difficult questions.
- The Feynman Test: Require the user to explain the topic in their own words, while the AI grades and fact-checks the explanation against the sources.
