The Five Promises

What every screen has to honor

01

Best-researched content

Every factual claim cited. Gold / Silver / Bronze source tiers visible on every page. Reviewed every 12 months.

02

Most interactive learning

Simulations, drag-and-drop labs, photo challenges. Talking-head video capped at 15%. If a concept can be a sim, it is.

03

Progression that feels like achievement

XP, streaks, levels, and verifiable certifications. Stardew Valley meets Khan Academy. Every step celebrated.

04

Universal access

Foundations tier free forever. WCAG 2.2 AA. Low-bandwidth mode. Offline core. Built for every learner.

05

Real-world outcomes

Every module connects to a real tray, a real yield number, a real business decision. Knowledge for growing food and earning a living.

Interactive over passive

If a concept can be a simulation, it is one.

Every core microgreens concept has an interactive lab — not a YouTube link, not a PDF. Drag sliders on the Mold Risk Visualizer and watch species-specific risk change in real time. Walk through phase timing at 1:1000 speed. Diagnose real grower photos. This is how you actually build intuition.

Four-tier mastery model

From your first sprout to your first sale — and beyond.

Progress by demonstrating skill, not by watching videos. Every module ends in a real tray, a real measurement, or a mastery quiz at 80% threshold.

The Research Integrity System

Cited over claimed.

Every factual statement is tied to a peer-reviewed source, an extension publication, or a named expert. We tier every citation and tell you exactly how confident to be. Every page has a "last reviewed" date. You can flag anything you disagree with — it routes to the editorial queue.

Practitioner anecdote

Clearly labeled, never fact-adjacent

Microgreens can contain up to 40× the nutrient concentration of their mature vegetable counterparts.
