- Layout and typesetting: create templates for daily sets, drills, and flashcards; export to accessible PDF.
- Pilot test: release to small learner group for feedback; measure comprehension, retention, and user satisfaction.
- Revise and publish: iterate on wording, difficulty tags, and audio pacing.
