Field Guide

Completion is not proof.

AI² measures understanding through demonstrated use: instruction, attempt, reasoning, application, proof.

Proof path

The point is not exposure to content. The point is whether the learner can use what they claim to know.

01

Instruction

Receive the concept in a path that fits the learner.

02

Attempt

Try the work before seeing the polished answer.

03

Reasoning

Explain the thought path, not just the output.

04

Application

Use the knowledge in a scenario or real task.

05

Proof

Retain evidence of the demonstrated standard.
