Intuition

Build the mental picture first so the rest of the page has something to attach to.

Section prompt

Release memory should not age into policy just because nobody looked at it again.

A memory-policy review is a scheduled checkpoint for release-memory rules. It asks whether the rule still fits the current learners, content, safeguards, teacher workflows, support scripts, and release conditions. The review can keep a rule active, narrow its scope, retire it, challenge it, require human review, communicate a change, or reopen the memory review when a new regression appears.

The discipline is not to distrust memory. The discipline is to keep memory alive enough to be useful and bounded enough to avoid becoming myth.

Good reviews separate three things:

  • the evidence packet that came from a release,
  • the rule that currently reuses that evidence,
  • and the decision about whether that rule should remain active.

That separation matters because a release can teach a real lesson without authorizing permanent behavior. The lesson may still be true, true only for a narrower learner context, superseded by a newer release, disputed by teachers, blocked by a learner-record boundary, or in need of a plain-language change notice.

Math

Translate the story into symbols, assumptions, and a derivation you can inspect.

Section prompt

Let a release-memory rule rr be reviewed at time tt with six review dimensions:

vt(r)=(c,s,k,o,m,d),v_t(r)=(c, s, k, o, m, d),

where cc is cadence freshness, ss is scope fit, kk is risk boundary status, oo is owner review, mm is communication readiness, and dd is dispute or regression pressure.

For each dimension, define a readiness score:

qj(r)=review checks passed for dimension jreview checks required for dimension j.q_j(r)=\frac{\text{review checks passed for dimension } j}{\text{review checks required for dimension } j}.

A compact active-rule score is:

A(r)=wcqc+wsqs+wkqk+woqo+wmqmwd(1qd).A(r)=w_cq_c+w_sq_s+w_kq_k+w_oq_o+w_mq_m-w_d(1-q_d).

The score is not the decision by itself. Some review outcomes override the score:

review(r)={human review,if sensitive learner context or owner authority is unresolved,reopen review,if a new regression invalidates the old memory,challenge rule,if evidence or educator feedback conflicts,retire rule,if a newer release supersedes the rule,narrow scope,if the rule works only for a smaller context,communicate change,if the user-facing or support-facing explanation is stale,keep rule,if the rule is fresh, scoped, bounded, signed off, and explainable.\operatorname{review}(r)= \begin{cases} \text{human review}, & \text{if sensitive learner context or owner authority is unresolved},\\ \text{reopen review}, & \text{if a new regression invalidates the old memory},\\ \text{challenge rule}, & \text{if evidence or educator feedback conflicts},\\ \text{retire rule}, & \text{if a newer release supersedes the rule},\\ \text{narrow scope}, & \text{if the rule works only for a smaller context},\\ \text{communicate change}, & \text{if the user-facing or support-facing explanation is stale},\\ \text{keep rule}, & \text{if the rule is fresh, scoped, bounded, signed off, and explainable}. \end{cases}

This makes the review auditable: high confidence can keep a rule, but stale scope, unresolved human judgment, conflict, or communication debt can still change the route.

Code

Keep the implementation aligned with the notation so the algorithm is legible.

Section prompt
rule = {
    "review_age_days": 18,
    "scope_match": 0.91,
    "sensitive_context": False,
    "owner_signed_off": True,
    "superseded": False,
    "educator_dispute_open": False,
    "support_copy_current": True,
    "new_regression": False,
}

if rule["sensitive_context"] or not rule["owner_signed_off"]:
    route = "human review"
elif rule["new_regression"]:
    route = "reopen review"
elif rule["educator_dispute_open"]:
    route = "challenge rule"
elif rule["superseded"]:
    route = "retire rule"
elif rule["scope_match"] < 0.7:
    route = "narrow scope"
elif not rule["support_copy_current"]:
    route = "communicate change"
elif rule["review_age_days"] <= 30 and rule["scope_match"] >= 0.85:
    route = "keep rule"
else:
    route = "challenge rule"

print(route)

Real systems should attach the release packet, owner signoff, learner-impact window, teacher/support notes, stakeholder copy, privacy/accessibility checks, and the next review date to every active memory rule.

Interactive Demo

Use direct manipulation to connect the explanation to a moving system.

Section prompt

Use the Memory Policy Reviews lab to predict how a release-memory rule should be reviewed:

  • Rule still fits: decide when a reuse rule can stay active.
  • Scope drift: decide when a rule should be narrowed.
  • Superseded rule: decide when old memory should retire.
  • Disputed pattern: decide when a rule should be challenged.
  • Sensitive cohort: decide when human review must happen before reuse.
  • Outdated notice: decide when a change must be communicated.
  • Fresh regression: decide when the memory review should reopen.

Before reveal, exact review age, scope match, owner signoff, dispute evidence, sensitive-context flags, stakeholder-copy gaps, and regression proof stay locked. After reveal, inspect the review route that controlled the decision.
