Pedagogy
This application serves as a learning tool rather than a decision-making tool. It is designed to guide students in understanding the rationale behind their choices at every stage. It doesn't provide definitive answers, as this wouldn't foster independent thought and learning.

To cater to diverse learning styles, we've incorporated two distinct instructional experiences within the tool. The first, a step-by-step view, provides linear, text-based guidance through each question. The second, an algorithm view, offers a more visual learning experience with a follow-along graph.
