How Blueprint works
A quick tour of what happens after you join, so you know exactly what the platform does and what it leaves to you.
1. You tell us enough to be useful
Onboarding is a short behavioral interview. Six scenarios, the kind of Tuesday mornings every homeschool parent actually navigates. You pick the answer that sounds most like your family. We use those choices, plus a handful of direct questions about your values and constraints, to build your profile.
Nothing about your children gets inferred. The profile describes you: what you believe education is for, the teaching philosophies your instincts draw from, where your budget and time sit, what sacred filters matter. You confirm each insight before it lands on your profile. Nothing gets used against you.
2. Your home is Ideas
Everything Blueprint suggests, everything you save, everything other families share, lands in one place: your Ideas. Lesson plans, curricula, field trips, socialization ideas, activities, community resources. One list. Filter by duration, group size, setting, materials, or subject. Save what fits. Dismiss what doesn't.
Each Idea carries a short match explanation so you know why it showed up for your family. You never see a ranked leaderboard or a score. The filter surface is the honest map of the catalog; the shape is what you read.
3. Build your own
Add an Idea your family wants to try with one tap. A backyard scavenger hunt. A Saturday maker project. A park day. Give it a title, optionally fill in duration, group size, and materials, and save. Your Idea is immediately usable, private to your family, and tracked in your Ideas alongside everything else.
Per Idea you can also record the practical side: “Maya's math tutor is Mrs. Johnson, Tuesdays at 3pm.” Blueprint stores it so it travels with the Idea. We call that the Fulfillment Field. It is manual entry today; algorithmic delegate matching comes later.
4. Share what works (only if you want to)
Any activity your family creates can be shared with the community catalog. Tap “Share with other families” on an Idea you love. It goes into a review queue a real person reads before anything reaches another family. Approve or decline. If we decline, you see a short, kind reason, and the activity stays in your private Ideas untouched.
Every submission goes through human review right now. AI tagging and auto-approve come later, and only after we have enough reviewed submissions to calibrate them carefully. Nothing AI-classified reaches another family without a person looking first.
5. What is coming
The parent surface described above is live. The student surface is the next chapter. Topics (the student-facing primitive), the scaffolded delivery engines that present a lesson the way you would, and the PIN handoff from parent planning to student session are in active build. We will ship each piece in its own release, with the same discipline: each slice is small enough that you can see exactly what changed, and small enough that we can revert one if we get it wrong.
If you want to see the full roadmap or ask a question about where something is, the fastest path is the contact page.
The first families are the people Ryan is building this for, and they are catching him if he drifts.
