Overview

Completion is a behavioral outcome, not a content outcome.

Across platforms and programs, the strongest predictor of completion isn't content quality or learner ability — it's behavioral continuity. This program studies how momentum forms, where it breaks, and how systems recover it.

Why consistency beats intensity in every cohort we study

01

Momentum signalsThe behavioral markers — pace, recency, participation — that predict completion.

Interventions that workPersonalized recovery plans versus broadcast reminders — what the data shows.

04

Cohort effectsHow visible peer momentum changes individual persistence.
