Quality signals
What learners can verify
Published learner ratings and recorded VibeTutor activity. Counts are real platform totals, never simulated.
- Chord progressions

Profile-based goals are shown until at least 3 saved learner goals can form a private aggregate.
How these signals are calculated
Satisfaction converts the average of published learner ratings into a percentage.
Completed lessons counts recorded calls lasting at least one minute. Short starts under one minute are excluded.
Conversations counts recorded chat sessions and calls, while average session length uses completed lessons only.
Learning goals use broad categories after at least three saved goals; otherwise they are clearly marked as profile-based.
