What it does

You give Claude an exported course or a PowerPoint deck. It reads everything a learner would see and hear and checks it against 53 criteria. You get back an HTML report, ranked by how much each problem affects the learner, and a CSV you can drop into a Kanban board.

It answers what it can from the files. When it isn't sure, it drafts an answer for you to confirm. Anything it can't check from the files, like keyboard use or how a screen reader sounds, is left for you, with a note on what to look at.

Accessibility

Contrast, alt text, headings, captions, link text, keyboard and zoom checks, slide reading order.

Learning design

Objectives, whether the quiz tests what was taught, wrong answers that are too easy, feedback that explains why.

Relevance

Real scenarios, tools explained, broken links, outdated details, inconsistent product names.

Severity is judged by the learner

Every finding gets one level, chosen by asking one question: how does this affect the learner?

LevelWhat it means for the learnerLaunch
BlockedThey can't access the content.Must be fixed before launch
InaccurateThe content is wrong, and following it could cause a mistake on the job.Must be fixed before launch
DetractsThey get less of the content, or a worse version of it, than other learners.Fix before launch, or name an owner and a fix date
Adds effortThey get the same content but have to work harder for it.Can launch; fix in the next revision
Minor errorSomething is incorrect but doesn't block understanding. Each one wears down trust.Can launch; fix in the next revision

Wrong content about money, legal and compliance matters, safety and security, anything client-facing, or steps that can't be undone is always Inaccurate. See the full severity rules.
