Designed to support the article

Context first. Interaction when it helps.

These are not thin quizzes or course selectors. Each one performs a bounded job that the surrounding article has already taught you how to think about.

Learn the context

The canonical article explains the model, evidence, assumptions, and terminology before the tool asks you to apply it.

Work through the situation

Answer a small number of transparent prompts. The logic is deterministic rather than an unexplained AI judgment.
