A research platform for how students learn
Weave turns the course material your teacher adds into a path you can follow: a guide that builds the whole topic, levels you take one at a time, and marked feedback on every answer. Checked at every step.
Illustrative example · course material in, a path of levels out
Most course material is written to be complete, not to be understood.
Try it
The same facts, explained the way a good tutor would. Pick a subject, compare the two versions, then commit to a prediction.
Opportunity cost represents the value of the next-best alternative forgone when a decision is made to allocate scarce resources to a particular use. It includes implicit costs and is distinct from the sum of all possible alternatives or the monetary expenditure alone.
All the information.
No obvious way in.
You have one free evening. You could go to a concert or take a paid shift. If the shift is your next-best option, choosing the concert means giving up that pay.
Real guides are written from your teacher's own material.
What a student gets
Your teacher adds the course material. Weave turns it into a guide, a sequence of levels and the practice that makes it stick, so you always know what to do next.
Start here
A zero-to-hero guide builds the whole topic from the ground up: the definitions, the mechanisms behind them, worked examples, and the mistakes people usually make.
Typeset as a guide you can read anywhere
Level by level
Each level opens with a short lecture, written for exactly the questions that follow it. Switch on the callouts that help you most: intuition, memory hooks, contrasts, edge cases.
Seven callouts, yours to show or hide
Your turn
Every level ends in written questions, marked against a real marking scheme. You get a score, plus comments on what landed and what was missing.
A level counts as passed at 60%
Close the gaps
Any question you scored under 80% can become an improvement exam, rebuilt from your own answer and the marker's comments.
Made from your answers, not a generic quiz
Keep it
Once you attempt a level, its flashcards join your review deck. They come back the next day, then a few days later, then a week, then longer, for as long as you keep remembering.
Cards cover the facts the exams don't
When you're stuck
Webster knows your course. In guided mode he helps you reason your way to the answer; in direct mode he simply explains. Either way, he tells you where the answer came from.
Sources listed whenever an answer uses them
Along the way: reports on your last thirty exams, a streak worth protecting, and XP for every review.
The four standards
Weave holds its teaching to four standards, in the order learning happens. Each one sets up the next.
01 / 04
Open a gap worth closing.
Every explanation starts with an itch: a paradox, an anomaly, a prediction that fails. Then the fact you learn is the only thing that scratches it.
02 / 04
Show the gears, not the label.
Not vocabulary to repeat back, but a mechanism you could rebuild from first principles, even after forgetting every technical term.
03 / 04
Predict what you've never seen.
Understanding proves itself on new ground: a messy case where two rules collide, and only the mechanism tells you what happens.
04 / 04
Would a tired person at 11 PM read the next paragraph?
Stakes, a human point of view, and a loose end that makes stopping feel uncomfortable. That loose end becomes the next tension.
Behind the page
What happens between your teacher adding the material and you opening your first guide. Shown in teaching order; some steps run side by side.

Illustrative · shown in teaching order
01Read
Your teacher adds the course material: pasted notes or up to five PDFs. Weave reads every page into clean text, describes each figure so it can be found again, and scores how faithfully it captured the original.
Transcription scored 0 to 100 against the PDF
02Map
First, the must-know ideas are fixed straight from the source, so nothing later can quietly drop them. Then every concept is mapped: what kind of idea it is, how much it matters and how deeply to teach it.
Twelve kinds of idea, from definitions to misconceptions
03Route
Some ideas need explaining. Some need practice. Some need both. Every concept is routed to the guide, the roadmap or both, with notes that stop anything being taught twice.
Guide, roadmap, or both
04Build
Two branches run side by side: a mastery guide that builds the whole topic, and a roadmap of levels, each with its own written questions and flashcards.
Up to fifty levels, one to four questions each
05Teach
Once the guide is ready, each level gets its lecture. It knows the exact questions you'll answer minutes later, covers everything they need, and holds back the answers.
Teaches the material, never the verdict
Checked at every step
Generated teaching is only worth learning from if you can trust it. So every stage has a bar to clear, and anything below it is revised and checked again.
Scores are plain averages, weighted evenly, so one strong measure can never cover for a weak one.
0–100
Before anything is built, a separate check scores how faithfully each PDF was turned into text, figures included.
95
Completeness, routing, signal and accuracy are scored separately, and each must reach 95. An average can't hide a weak spot. If one falls short, the map is repaired, up to four times.
90
The concept map is law. Coverage is checked against it, and the roadmap is revised until it scores 90, for up to six rounds. No lecture may leak the answers to its own questions.
>90
The judge reads the finished, typeset pages, not a draft. If any score is below 90, the guide is revised, and every passage that passed is kept word for word. After three rounds at most, if none clears 90 on every score, the one with the best average is the one you get.
1st
Lectures follow a strict order of priorities, and grounding in the source comes first. In the words of Weave's own rules: a quota you cannot fill from the source is a quota you do not fill.
0
Weave's writing rules ban the habits that make text feel machine-made: empty one-line closers, dramatic fragments, even the em dash.
All
Each score is stored with the name of the judge that gave it, so any result can be traced. And if marking ever fails, you get a clear error, never a lost attempt.
The lab
Weave isn't a product to buy. It's a means to learn, and a place to find out what makes an explanation work. Teachers get the instruments.
Each one regenerates the lectures and is scored on the four standards, with its cost and length alongside. Concept maps and mastery guides can be benchmarked the same way, so choosing a model is a measurement, not a guess.
Teachers can edit, fork, activate or reset any prompt. Every evaluation is linked to the exact version it tested, so a change that helps is kept and one that hurts can be rolled back.
A shared prompt can be refined over up to twenty rounds. It has to stay within a tight length band, and any version that leaks terms from a single topic is thrown out.
The four standards, a rating for each of seven parts of the topic, and the single bottleneck most worth fixing next.
Questions
No. A summary makes material shorter. Weave makes it learnable: a mastery guide that builds the whole topic, a roadmap of levels with lectures and written questions, marked feedback, improvement exams, and flashcards that come back on a schedule.
From your teacher. They create the course and add the material for each topic, as pasted notes or up to five PDFs. Weave builds everything from that material.
Every stage has a bar to clear before anything moves on, from checking that each PDF was read correctly to judging the finished guide page by page. Lectures are grounded in your teacher's material, and Webster lists his sources whenever he uses them.
Ask Webster, who can walk you through the reasoning or simply explain. Re-read the level's lecture, then take an improvement exam built from the questions you missed.
No. Weave is a research platform for how students learn: a means to learn, not a product to buy.
