For each child and each times table, we compare their accuracy in their first three sessions on that table against their most recent three sessions on the same table. This like-for-like comparison controls for the amount of practice and gives a genuine measure of recall improvement rather than just exposure. We also track response speed over time, which shows when recall is moving from effortful to automatic — a key indicator that knowledge is genuinely consolidating in long-term memory. These metrics are available to parents through the dashboard and to teachers through the classroom reporting tools."

We ask for the email address linked to your account so we can verify that the story comes from a genuine user before publishing. This verification step matters to us — we are committed to only featuring real results from real families, not fabricated testimonials. If your child has made genuine progress that you'd like to share, we'd love to hear about it. Stories that include specific detail — which table was mastered, how long it took, what changed in their attitude to maths — tend to be most helpful to other parents considering the programme."

            "@type": "Answer",
            "text": "Yes, and we are deliberately transparent about where they come from. The headline 94% improvement figure is based on children who completed at least 8 sessions with the same times table, comparing early-session accuracy against recent-session accuracy using the methodology described above. It is not based on self-reported data, parent surveys, or cherry-picked case studies. The 3-week average to master a new table is derived from session timestamps — the median time between a child's first session on a table and the point at which their rolling accuracy exceeds 85% for three consecutive sessions. We publish these details because we believe the education technology market is full of unverifiable claims, and parents and teachers deserve better."
