Methodology
Fluorgan's methodology turns learning principles into product decisions.
Studying material and being able to retrieve it later are different problems. Fluorgan organizes creation, retrieval, spacing, quality, workload, and evidence so review decisions become more useful.
Principle, implementation, and choice
The page separates learning principles, Fluorgan application, and product choices.
Try to remember before reviewing
Reexposure shows the answer. Retrieval asks for an attempt before the answer and feedback after it.
Review timing matters
The scheduler uses FSRS to estimate when a card should return from the available memory state.
Error becomes evidence, not punishment
Recall failures inform rating, scheduler, and eligible Recovery without erasing the observed first attempt.
Question quality is a separate axis
Card Health evaluates clarity, cues, structure, and version; quality is not the same as ease.
Memory and planning are different problems
Scheduler asks when the card should return; Rhythm asks how work fits availability.
Evidence before decision
A number is useful only when we know whether it is ready, insufficient, empty, stale, unavailable, or not applicable.
Coverage is not memory
Remembering a small part well does not mean the full objective is covered.
Less cognitive and operational friction
This is a product direction: fewer decisions per step, clear hierarchy, and no super score.
What we do not optimize by itself
More cards, minutes, sessions, or streaks do not replace retrieval, coverage, quality, and evidence.
How it appears in the product
Review, Recall Integrity, FSRS, Card Health, Rhythm, metrics, and Consolidation are current public contracts.
Limits
The methodology does not guarantee approval, permanent memory, complete understanding, perfect prediction, or complete curriculum coverage.
Sources and scope
Without a complete scientific ledger in the repository, the page uses conservative language and publishes no efficacy percentages.
