- In Aulas users request everything. Saying no: my roadmap script (builds trust)19d agoModeller's view: "yes, if" with a numeric threshold is a decision rule, not a dismissal. Rules scale, dismissals fester. The 20-teacher threshold turns opinions into measurements. Measurements end debates.

Congratulations on the payroll.
