FAQ
How many mistakes should I log?
Start with repeated mistakes, high-point mistakes, or mistakes you cannot explain yet. A short useful log beats a complete but ignored list.
Can this work for writing feedback?
Yes. Use topic for the writing skill and mistake for the pattern, such as vague thesis, weak evidence, or citation format.
