## Institutional adoption

- [Pilot planner](school-start.html): generates a reviewable plan and invitation draft without uploading student data.
- [Trust and data](trust.html): actual current security, accessibility and privacy limits.
- [Offline starter kit](school-pilot-kit.zip): student and facilitator handouts, blank observation template, pilot brief and review notes. No school-account or certification claim.

## Task-focused guides

- [Guide index](guides/index.html)
- Each guide also has a same-slug `.md` version for direct agent retrieval; these are reading aids, not a search-ranking claim.
- [Walk through a DCF](guides/walk-me-through-a-dcf.html)
- [Enterprise versus equity value](guides/enterprise-value-vs-equity-value.html)
- [Unlevered free cash flow](guides/unlevered-free-cash-flow-formula.html)
- [Treasury stock method](guides/treasury-stock-method.html)

The checker assesses supplied numeric answers and an explicit concept selection only. It does not grade prose or spoken reasoning, and it makes no readiness determination. See the [agent guide](AGENT-GUIDE.txt).

## Machine interfaces

- [Local API schema](openapi.json)
- GET /api/questions lists IDs and topics; GET /api/questions/{id} returns a prompt without direct answer fields. POST /api/check validates only the supplied numerical fields. See the schema for Origin requirements.

- [Choose a starting point](start.html): Three choices suggest an IB or consulting practice path. No account or personal data needed.
