Short answer

How do I find out why my cohort is falling behind?

Your AI pulls current milestone data and runs a health check to see where students are stuck. You get a clear list of specific milestones that act as blockers. This allows you to see if the issue is a single difficult task or a broader trend.

Where the insights land.

Identify the friction points.

The AI categorizes findings into these four areas.

STALLED

Blocked milestones

The AI identifies specific tasks where most participants are stuck. You get a list of the exact milestones causing the delay.

TRENDS

Cohort health patterns

The AI looks for systemic issues across the whole group. This shows you if the curriculum itself is the problem.

ACTION

Human intervention needed

The AI flags specific individuals who need a direct check-in. These are the cases where data alone isn't enough to fix the stall.

STATUS

Completion snapshots

The AI provides a high-level view of how many people have passed each stage. This helps you track overall velocity.

The workflow

What your AI does when the data arrives.

The AI handles the heavy lifting of scanning through every participant's progress.

  1. Gather progress data

    The AI pulls the current status for every milestone in your program.

    get_milestone_status

  2. Detect friction points

    It compares completion rates to find where the cohort is clustering or stalling.

    analyze_program_health

  3. Identify outliers

    The AI looks for participants who are deviating significantly from the expected timeline.

    get_milestone_status

  4. Summarize health

    It compiles all the data into a clear picture of the program's current momentum.

    analyze_program_health

FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI change milestone statuses automatically?

    No. The AI only reads the data to identify issues. You have to manually update statuses in your own tools.

  • 02

    Does the AI delete any of my cohort records?

    No. This MCP is read-only. It cannot delete, move, or modify your original data.

  • 03

    How does it know which milestones are 'stalling'?

    It compares the current completion timestamps against the expected timeline defined in your program data.

  • 04

    Can I use this with my existing spreadsheet?

    Yes, as long as the data is accessible through the tools provided in the Connector.

  • 05

    Will the AI contact my students directly?

    No. The AI only provides you with the insights and names of people who need help. You handle all communication.
