Define the SaaS Loop
A learning product is a state machine disguised as an interface.
Map the core user loop from first visit through learning, submission, review, and return.
The lesson is public. The pressure loop lives inside the app where submissions, revision, and AI review happen.
A product loop map, review system flow, and admin spec.
Each lesson contributes to a week-level artifact and eventually to the shipped AI-native SaaS.
Define the SaaS Loop
This lesson turns the curriculum into product logic. You are defining how the learner moves through the system and where the system applies pressure.
A strong course can still fail as a product if the loop is muddy. If users do not know what to do, what they owe, and what happens next, the product loses force.
Think in states and transitions: visitor, onboarding, active learner, submitted, under review, revise, complete, blocked, capstone-ready.

The product loop is where educational philosophy meets implementation. Personal roadmap, module unlocks, submissions, review outcomes, revision loops, and admin oversight all need consistent state handling. The deeper insight is that content does not create behavior change by itself. State transitions do. Your product loop is the operating system of the curriculum.
A learner finishes a lesson and submits an artifact. The system records the submission, runs AI review, sets revision state if needed, updates progress, and surfaces the next best action instead of leaving the learner in ambiguity.
Common failures include content pages with no clear next step, progression with no gating logic, and review feedback that does not change product state.
