MASTERY CONTROL CENTER: 10 DECISIONS + GOVERNANCE

ALL YEARS | PAGE 76D - DASHBOARD -> 10 DECISIONS -> WEEKLY RESET -> MASTERY GATE

CONTROL-CENTER RULE: THE DASHBOARD EXISTS TO MAKE ONE DECISION - WHAT SHOULD I KEEP, REPAIR, RE-TEST OR DROP NEXT? DO NOT TURN IT INTO ANOTHER NOTE-TAKING PROJECT. USE THE FEWEST METRICS THAT ACTUALLY CHANGE ACTION.

F. 10 HIGH-DISCRIMINATION DASHBOARD DECISIONS

#	Pattern	Best next decision
1	Lecture/video completion is high, but closed-book recall is poor.	Reduce passive completion; use retrieval before reopening content and track what survives without cues.
2	Qbank percentage rises, but guessed/slow corrects remain high.	Review fragile corrects and reasoning reproducibility; do not let headline accuracy hide instability.
3	One rare miss is dramatic; three ordinary errors recur weekly.	Prioritize the recurring cluster; rare isolated detail remains lower priority unless high-consequence.
4	Targeted cardiology sets improve; mixed blocks do not.	Return to mixed discrimination; remaining gap is transfer under uncertainty, not cardiology exposure.
5	Text questions are strong; histology/ECG/graphs repeatedly fail.	Repair the same knowledge through the weak representation and retest on unseen images/data.
6	A repaired rule is correct immediately but wrong again five days later.	Treat repair as failed retention; change encoding/retrieval method and schedule another delayed retest.
7	Late-block accuracy falls despite good early performance.	Train endurance/pacing/break strategy; reduce low-yield hours that worsen fatigue.
8	Three resources are open and the dashboard is not improving.	Choose one primary tool by job; pause duplicates; keep only targeted supplements with a stop rule.
9	Official/school assessment is lower than daily Qbank performance.	Investigate repeats, selection bias, conditions, timing and domain mix before adding a new curriculum.
10	Recent signals agree and the weak list is small.	Consolidate, maintain, taper broad new learning and protect sleep/execution rather than expanding the stack.

TOP 10 ADAPTIVE-MASTERY CONCEPT - 10: A DASHBOARD IS VALUABLE ONLY WHEN IT CHANGES BEHAVIOR

F. 10 HIGH-DISCRIMINATION DASHBOARD DECISIONS

DEEP EXPLANATION	WHY STUDENTS MISS IT	EASIEST CLUE
Data collection is not the objective. The system works when a signal leads to a specific keep/repair/retest/drop decision	Tracking can become a productivity ritual: beautiful spreadsheets, no change in study behavior.	For every metric ask: what action changes if this moves up, down or stays flat?
and later verifies whether that decision improved transfer.

G. WEEKLY FOUR-BOX CONTROL BOARD

KEEP ACTIVE	REPAIR NOW	RE-TEST	DEFER / DROP
Strong, important material receiving brief mixed maintenance.	Top 1-3 recurring or high-consequence gaps with a defined repair method.	Recently repaired rules due for delayed fresh confirmation.	Low-yield duplication, isolated trivia or resources with no distinct job.

H. FINAL PERSONALIZED-MASTERY GATE

Gate	Pass condition
Coverage	Current school/rotation/official domains are represented; no major objective is absent.
Retrieval	Core mechanisms, rules and algorithms can be reproduced without notes or AI.
Transfer	Fresh mixed questions/images/cases are stable; strongest distractors can be rejected for the right reason.
Error stability	Repeat clusters are shrinking; repaired errors stay repaired after delay.
Timing / endurance	Representative timed work finishes without meaningful late-session collapse.
Representation / skills	Relevant images/data/procedures/communication transfer beyond text-only recognition.
Recovery / sustainability	The plan preserves next-day retrieval, attention and required school/clinical duties.
Governance	Every active resource/metric has a job; weekly evidence controls keep/repair/retest/drop decisions.

EVIDENCE / CALIBRATION ANCHORS: Learning Scientists - retrieval, spacing + interleaving video library | NBME self-assessments | NBOME COMSAE. Use school objectives and policies first; use official assessment tools for calibration; use the dashboard to translate evidence into targeted learning decisions rather than a homemade universal readiness score. 2026/27 adaptive-mastery expanded edition - use school objectives and current official assessment guidance as the controlling standards
