Continuity
The student who joins you mid-year already has gaps. Now you can see which.
A transfer or a post-placement intake hands you a student with a history you cannot read: unknown material, unknown decay, no idea what is about to be forgotten. Continuity turns that into one diagnostic and one sequenced catch-up capsule — built only from material they have already been taught.
Why intake is the expensive part
When a student arrives after a placement test or a mid-year transfer, the question that shapes everything downstream is not "can they keep up?" It is "what do they already hold, and what has quietly slipped?"
Today that gets answered by guesswork:
- The advisor constructs a provisional plan from the placement test alone — which measures ability, not what has decayed.
- The student receives a broad re-teaching of material that may already be secure, which costs hours they did not need to spend.
- Or nothing is diagnosed, the student disengages, and the loss shows up months later as a retention problem with no visible cause.
Continuity answers the second question instead of the first. It reads the student's own review history — not their ability — and reports where practice is thin.
How it works
-
Upload the prior collection.
The student's existing
.anki2or.apkg, with consent from the student or guardian. No prior collection? The diagnostic still runs against your own verified decks and tells you what is unknown rather than guessing. - Read the diagnostic. Practice consistency, retention curve, lapses, interval degradation, and a gap analysis naming the specific material that has slipped. One page, readable by an advisor rather than a data analyst.
- Receive a catch-up capsule. A time-boxed study capsule assembled from that gap set — ordered by memory decay, drawn strictly from previously-taught material, and delivered to their session. No teacher assembles it and no teacher has to review it.
- Watch it close. The capsule regenerates as the student practises. You see the gap close on the same report, and you get a PDF you can put in the file or hand to the family.
What this is not
It is a practice-gap diagnosis and a catch-up plan — for the institution, for the intake conversation, for deciding what to do first.
It is not a certificate, not a credential, and not evidence of attainment for any examination body or external authority. We do not issue qualifications and we do not imply that reviewing cards establishes one. If you need an assessment for certification purposes, this is the wrong product and we will say so.
Why it holds up
- It uses what already exists
- No new content is written. AnkiTov verifies, sequences, and delivers material someone else already authored — and keeps authorship and licence where they were.
- Nobody teaches anything new
- Teachers are not involved in intake, in the capsule, or in the practice. That is what keeps the promise honest: this closes gaps in material already taught, at SRS pace, beside the timetable.
- It does not require the institution to change shape
- No new period carved out. No new reporting ritual for staff. The slot the institution already has is where the capsule runs.
- It works in the student's language
- Interface and subject decks across thirteen languages, with the first wave shipping in English, Hebrew, and French — which is where international and language-school intake actually happens.
- It is private by construction
- The uploaded collection belongs to the student. It is analysed for the institution that is admitting them, held for a defined window, and then deleted. It is never used to train a model and never sold.
