# Stale — The intelligence layer for technical education

CURRICULUM INTELLIGENCE, POWERED BY CLAUDE

# The world moves. Education *lags.*

Technology rewrites itself every day. Course material doesn't. **Stale finds the distance between what we're teaching and what the world now demands.**

01 / THE PROBLEMTECHNICAL KNOWLEDGE HAS A HALF-LIFE

## Graduating with yesterday's knowledge is a problem we can actually solve.

Libraries update. Frameworks deprecate. Security guidance changes. Yet slides and example code can keep circulating long after the assumptions behind them have broken.

Stale is building a continuous feedback loop between technical education and the changing world outside it. **Our first product is a source-verified course audit.**

[Why we're building Stale ↗](/about)

01↗

### Spot what aged.

Deprecated APIs, obsolete tools, and recommendations students shouldn't carry into a modern codebase.

CURRENCY AUDIT

02✳

### Catch what breaks.

Insecure examples, incorrect concepts, and code patterns that quietly teach the wrong habits.

QUALITY & SECURITY

03⌁

### See what's missing.

Compare course coverage with real job-role expectations, without demanding every class teach everything.

ROLE ALIGNMENT

02 / THE OUTPUTAN INSPECTABLE BODY OF WORK

## Not another AI opinion. *Receipts.*

From the original slide to the primary source, every delivered finding can be traced. These are examples from Stale's actual public audits.

[01 / MOBILE APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT↗

SECURITY FINDING

### Teaching SQL injection without meaning to.

Unsafe string concatenation in an SQLite example. Stale flags the original teaching material and points to safer parameterized queries.

03 / THE INTELLIGENCEBUILT ON ANTHROPIC'S CLAUDE

Claude ✳ at the core.

## Reason deeply. Verify independently.

Stale doesn't ask one model for an answer and call it a day. Claude helps investigate and judge. Deterministic software checks the evidence before a finding can appear in the report.

INPUT01

▤

### Course material

PDF and PPTX are parsed with slide and lecture context preserved.

WHAT WAS ACTUALLY TAUGHT

CLAUDE02

S✳

### Sonnet explores

Surfaces candidate issues and suspicious claims across the material.

HIGH-RECALL DISCOVERY

CLAUDE03

O✳

### Opus judges

Adjudicates findings and reasons about course depth and role expectations.

CONTEXTUAL REASONING

INDEPENDENT CHECK04

✓

### Evidence survives

Python re-fetches citations and re-anchors claims. Unsupported findings are dropped.

VERIFIED REPORT

**Every flagged claim is then verified outside the model.**That's not a marketing promise. It's an architectural decision.

04 / THE AMBITIONFROM ONE AUDIT TO AN ENTIRE DEGREE

TODAY, COURSE INTELLIGENCE.   TOMORROW, CONTINUITY.

## What if learning *remembered itself?*

A degree shouldn't be disconnected folders and abandoned projects. Our north star is a persistent academic intelligence layer that understands the student, the curriculum, and how every semester connects to the next.

CONCEPTUAL ROADMAP / NOT A LIVE PRODUCT

AVAILABLE TODAY

01

### Course audits

LEARNING THAT ACCUMULATES ↗

Future academic companion features, including CLI and MCP integrations, are a product direction, not available services today.

05 / WHO IT SERVESMADE FOR THE PEOPLE WHO SET THE STANDARD

## Better material. Better starting points.

Stale begins with the people responsible for teaching technical skills, from individual instructors to curriculum teams and training programs.

01

### Universities & departments

Understand where course content diverges from current technical practice.

↗

02

### Bootcamps & training programs

Review teaching examples and role alignment before they reach a cohort.

↗

03

### Instructors & learners

Make evidence-informed updates to what is taught and how it's applied.
