HCD.9:5.4 - Keep Demonstration and AI Help out of the First Attempt

A teacher may demonstrate one move on an anchor case before the learner receives a distinct variant. The answer and key remain with the teacher; on the variant, the learner first receives the condition. If a detailed cue or demonstration is supplied after difficulty, the resulting correction is supported and the trace says so.

AI may search, calculate, draft, or critique within the permitted boundary. The trace records the learner’s question before AI use, the generated contribution, decisive source and calculation checks, and the learner’s explanation. A fluent AI revision is not the learner’s correction until the learner checks and uses it. A later changed-support probe may be selected by HCD.10, while HCD.11–HCD.13 govern what that observation can establish.
