Iris synthesis
When all reviewers' feedback comes back, Iris doesn't just pile it up — she reconciles. Where reviewers agree (strong signal), where they disagree (you choose), where AI was used (flagged). One-click apply / skip per anchor. The thing that makes us not Google Docs.

🛡️ TRUST & SAFETY · 8 dedicated mocks (the trust story)

Trust isn't a feature — it's the precondition for the whole product. Without it, students give us resume bullets and we fail. The 8 mocks below show how trust gets EARNED through every interaction, not buried in a privacy policy. Read the full strategy: 2026-trust-strategy.md

trust 1 · onboarding
Signup trust moment
First thing student sees. Three NEVERs + three PROMISES. Reading time: 30 seconds. No legalese.
→ open mock
trust 2 · the hub
Privacy Dashboard
"What does Iris know about me?" — full data inventory, access log, controls, export, delete. Visible truth.
→ open mock
trust 3 · cadence
Trust check-in
Periodic prompt (every 20 memories or 30 days) — "want to look at what I know about you?" Not a scold, not a sales-y nudge.
→ open mock
trust 4 · iris's behavior
"Why are you asking?"
Every Iris question has a button revealing her reasoning. Plus the vulnerability ladder concept.
→ open mock
trust 5 · per-memory
"Used in essays" log
Every time Iris pulled this memory into an essay — visible. Revoke from any of them in one tap.
→ open mock
trust 6 · safety
Crisis routing
When a student shares heavy content. Iris steps back, surfaces real resources (988, Crisis Text Line, Trevor Project), holds privacy.
→ open mock
trust 7 · stakeholder lines
Parent / counselor settings
Default = nothing visible. Three levels with explicit see-vs-don't-see preview. Iris-only memories never share.
→ open mock
trust 8 · take it back
Account deletion
No friction, no shame, no upsell. Plain facts of what gets deleted, when. 30-second confirm. Soft pause / export options.
→ open mock
