## Key facts

- Free for students; sign in with Google or email (verification code, no password) to generate ideas and save plans.
- Covers both 2027 pathways: subject-focused (one DP subject) and interdisciplinary (two subjects + one of five frameworks: power/equality/justice, culture/identity/expression, movement/time/space, evidence/measurement/innovation, sustainability/development/change).
- Covers all 28 IB DP subjects across all six subject groups (Studies in language & literature, Language acquisition, Individuals & societies, Sciences, Mathematics, The arts).
- Eligibility is enforced by a deterministic rules engine — invalid combinations (e.g. Environmental systems & societies or Literature & performance in the interdisciplinary pathway, interdisciplinary essays not in English/French/Spanish) are blocked with the verbatim guide rule, not left to the AI.
- Research questions are scored against the research-question strand of Criterion A — Framework for the essay (1–6 marks), quoting the markband text.
- Comprehensive health check tests 8 dimensions and the 10-item feasibility worksheet (sources, location access, permissions, ethics, 4,000-word scope).
- The wizard drafts and structures; the student verifies. Each Topic Brief carries a fixed AI-assistance disclosure for the researcher's reflection space (RRS).
- Independent tool — not affiliated with the IB. Students must confirm final rules with their supervisor.
