Tutoring answers are more complete when public retrieval remains available, but less reliably grounded.
Answer coverage protects a useful study moment while strict grounding protects learners from confident misinformation.
Who you’d be doing this for
“My professor asked where that explanation came from, and I realized it didn’t match our notes.”
Yash Sengupta · First-year college student
Uses tutoring responses to prepare for an introductory psychology midterm from course notes and public study sets.
What is at stake
Human reviewers and automated safety checks disagree on whether 0.7% of tutoring responses are materially misleading. You must weigh answer coverage against a retrieval policy that becomes costly to reverse after the model refresh.
Why it isn’t already fixed
Every obvious fix costs something else. That’s the part you’d have to decide.
- answer coverage vs. grounded explanations
- automated safety scores vs. human verification
- uniform containment vs. targeted retrieval controls
- model-refresh commitment vs. incomplete evidence
