Mastery is believed, not recorded.
A tick in a gradebook is not understanding. Maestro's engine reads how a learner answers, decides what that reveals, and only then chooses what happens next — in the open, every time.
Every check reads more than the answer.
Dichotomous right-or-wrong scoring throws away most of the information in a response. Maestro captures four signals on each one, so a lucky guess and a solid grasp never look the same.
Response
What the learner actually answered — the item outcome itself.
Reasoning
The thinking that led there, elicited and read as evidence.
Confidence
How sure they were — calibration between confidence and correctness.
Process
How they got there: response time, revisions, the path taken.
Not every wrong answer means the same thing.
Diagnosis before remediation: the engine separates a careless slip from a shaky grasp from a confidently held misconception — and routes each one differently.
Mastery is not a single line.
The engine reasons about how deeply a concept is held — a progression familiar from the SOLO taxonomy — from an idea in isolation to understanding that transfers to genuinely new situations.
- 01
A single idea in isolation
- 02
Several ideas held as a list
- 03
Ideas connected and integrated
- 04
Understanding that transfers to genuinely new situations
