How it works

From course material to guided decision support

SLAN extracts structured reasoning from your content and deploys it through Nudge: an AI assistant that guides learners to outcomes they can defend.

SYNTHESIS BY SLAN

Turns content into structured reasoning systems

Upload your course materials and SLAN extracts the decision logic, frameworks, and reasoning patterns inside — then makes them interactive for learners through AI-powered guidance.

WHAT SLAN PRODUCES

From static content to structured reasoning

SLAN extracts decision logic from your course materials into **Frameworks**, reusable modules with inputs, steps, and completion criteria. Here's what that transformation looks like.

Strategic Decision Analysis

1. Define the decision
2. Identify assumptions
3. Evaluate tradeoffs
4. Recommend + justify
"Apply this framework to a strategic decision of your choice."

Static content. No structure. No guidance.

After: Structured in SLAN

What's the biggest risk you're worried about with this decision?

We don't have enough local knowledge to compete.

Interactive. Step-by-step. Expert-designed.

FOR EXPERTS

A step-by-step walkthrough of the creator workflow

The homepage shows what experts can do. Here's exactly how it works: from uploading materials to deploying Nudges to a live cohort.
1

Upload your content

Drag in slides, PDFs, notes, playbooks. SLAN indexes and segments them automatically.

Extract frameworks

SLAN proposes structured Frameworks from your materials. You inspect, edit, and approve before anything goes live.

Review & validate

Nothing goes live without your sign-off. Review decision logic, test edge cases, and version each Framework before it reaches learners.

Publish Nudges

When deployed by an instructor, Nudges are grounded in course materials and designed to mirror how the instructor expects reasoning to be structured.

FOR LEARNERS

Guided application, not generic answers

Nudge doesn't just answer questions, it walks learners through a ThinkingPath step by step. Here's what a learner actually sees when working through a guided decision.
Nudge: Strategic Decision AnalysisStep 2 of 4 · Surface assumptions
N

Good, you've defined the decision as "expand into Southeast Asia vs. double down domestically."

Before we evaluate options, let's surface your assumptions. What's the biggest risk you're worried about with expansion?

Framework: Strategic Decision Analysis · Step 2: Test Assumptions

We don't have enough local knowledge to compete effectively.

N

That's a testable assumption. Let's check it against the framework from your course:

Assumption check

Assumption identified: "insufficient local knowledge"
List 2-3 evidence sources that could validate or reject this
Rate confidence level (high/medium/low) with reasoning

What evidence would you need to either validate or reject that concern?

Type your analysis...

Ask a question

The learner describes what they're working on. Nudge identifies the most relevant ThinkingPath.

Work the path

Nudge walks through decision checks, structured questions, and branching, aligned to the instructor's approach and completion criteria.

Produce an outcome

Finish with a defensible recommendation, plan, or checklist. Exportable artefacts coming soon.

GOVERNANCE & IP

Your expertise stays yours

SLAN is built for environments where content ownership, access control, and IP protection are non-negotiable.

Content stays scoped

Proprietary materials are never exposed to general models. Access is controlled per course, cohort, and organization.

Review before release

Every extracted Framework is a proposal. Nothing goes live until the content owner reviews and approves it.

Governed AI reasoning

Control what the AI can reason about, who can access it, and how it behaves, versioned and auditable.
