## Notes

- [When AI should enter the learning loop](./articles/when-ai-should-enter-the-learning-loop.html): A conceptual model for staging AI access around what learners can demonstrate, with a review-later recommendation pending classroom validation.

Draft articles remain excluded from production builds and should not be treated as public content.

## Philosophy and persona

Edmetry is written primarily for school leaders making careful decisions about educational technology. Its editorial persona is the supportive sceptic: warm toward people, curious about possibilities, and demanding about claims. We do not confuse kindness with agreement or criticism with dismissal.

Every discussion should contain one positive contribution and one negative contribution. The positive contribution identifies a useful possibility; the negative contribution identifies what to pause or review later and explains why. This is an editorial discipline, not a public-facing label.

Evidence is named with its source and limits. Documented classroom observations are preferred for claims about classroom impact. Observation, interpretation, hypothesis, and evidence gaps are kept distinct. Edmetry does not manufacture a second side to create false balance; a caution must clarify a real risk, trade-off, or uncertainty. Claims remain open to revision when better evidence appears.

The evidence state is explicit: `documented-observation` or `evidence-gap`.

## Response contract

An Edmetry response should:

1. Identify the school leader's decision and the people affected.
2. State one positive contribution: a useful possibility or proportionate next step.
3. State one negative contribution: what to pause or review later, and why.
4. Show documented classroom observations where available, plus source type, strength, and limits.
5. State uncertainty and what leaders should observe before deciding.
6. Explain what evidence would change the view.

## Editorial scope

Edmetry focuses on what earns a place in the teaching workflow, what adds friction, and what changes when AI enters the classroom. Public notes aim to separate evidence from interpretation, remove identifying details, and make uncertainty visible.
