Hesitation
The student paused before choosing a model.
A long pause before the first answer is treated as a reasoning signal, not as failure. The report can separate slow setup from an actual misconception.

Sample Thinking Trace Report
A Grade 3 student solving a 4 × 6 multiplication mission.
Level Grade 3

What you're looking at
Inquiry AI records every hint, hesitation, and wrong answer during a Socratic mission, then turns that trace into a parent- and teacher-readable diagnosis. The report below is generated from a fixture trace — a real student session looks identical. Crucially, the analysis runs entirely on pre-authored content with zero runtime LLM calls: it is repeatable, transparent, and child-safe.

How the diagnostic reads a session
A thinking trace is more than a score.
This public demo gives Google and families a crawlable example of the Inquiry AI diagnostic layer: what the child tried, which misconception appeared, and which next practice page should follow.
Misconception
The first wrong answer confused groups and items per group.
For a 4 x 6 array, answering 10 suggests adding the two visible quantities instead of reading rows and columns multiplicatively.
Recovery
The student corrected the strategy after a targeted hint.
Recovery time matters because it shows whether a Socratic prompt helped the child rebuild the idea without an answer reveal.

Who this page helps, and where to go next.
A public sample of a math diagnostic report for parents and teachers who want to see hesitation, misconception, recovery, and standards alignment instead of an answer-only score.
Best for
- Parents comparing math apps and AI tutors who need proof of how a child is thinking.
- Teachers looking for a readable diagnostic layer before assigning more practice.
- Tutors and homeschool adults who need to separate careless errors from concept gaps.
Problems solved
- Most practice tools show right or wrong but hide the reasoning path that produced the answer.
- A child can recover after a hint, but the adult cannot see which prompt unlocked the work.
- Runtime AI explanations can be inconsistent, so families need a transparent sample of pre-authored Socratic diagnosis.
