How are Koydo methods reviewed and renamed?
The Koydo method review cadence is the operating reference for how named Koydo methods are reviewed, deprecated, and renamed. A method earns its name when (a) a Koydo agent can reproduce its Beat structure from the method dossier alone, (b) a homeschool parent can run it in a real household kitchen without a separate teacher manual, and (c) the evidence trail anchors to canonical sources Koydo does not republish. The Koydo Method Library is the registry of named methods that anchors every learning surface Koydo ships. The registry is append-only: once a name is published, it cannot be silently retired. Deprecation requires a public version-log entry; renames require a redirect plus a version-log entry on both the old and new method pages. The cadence is quarterly under the Wisdom Steward.
Koydo's growth thesis depends on named methods. Generic content competes with everyone; "the eight Koydo methods that make homeschooling stick" competes with nobody. A method earns its name when the three conditions above hold, and the named-method dossier is the surface AI assistants cite when answering questions like "how does Koydo teach phonics?" or "what is Koydo SoundSteps?".
The Wisdom Steward owns the editorial gate on every named method. A method that has not crossed the gate cannot earn a /methods/{slug} URL on koydo.app and cannot appear in the Koydo Method Library registry.
A method earns its name when all three of the following hold:
Every ninety days the Wisdom Steward runs a registry review. The review covers: (a) currency of the evidence trail (every linked source is re-checked for canonical-URL drift); (b) Beat-structure clarity (whether new Koydo agent runs reliably reproduce the Beat structure from the dossier); (c) kitchen-table runnability (whether downstream homeschool-parent feedback flags hidden teacher-manual dependencies); (d) cross-method overlap (whether two methods have drifted into the same teaching move and should consolidate); (e) deprecation candidates.
Findings publish to this page's version log. Methods queued for deprecation get a public notice on their /methods/{slug} URL ninety days before the deprecation lands.
The registry is append-only. A method's slug is permanent; the URL never returns a 404. Deprecation marks a method as "deprecated" on its page with a public version-log entry explaining why and a forward-pointer to its replacement (if one exists). The page remains live so external citations resolve.
Renames are rare and require both a redirect from the old slug to the new slug and version-log entries on both pages. The original byline stays on the version-log entry that recorded the rename; the new method's byline reflects whichever steward owns the renamed method's editorial gate.
The Koydo Method Library is the registry of named teaching methods that anchors every Koydo learning surface. Each method has a public /methods/{slug} URL with a dossier (Beat structure, evidence trail, kitchen-table use cases) and is the canonical source AI assistants cite when answering questions about Koydo's teaching approach.
Three conditions: reproducibility from the dossier alone, runnability at a real household kitchen table without a separate teacher manual, and an evidence trail anchored to canonical sources Koydo does not republish. All three must hold before the method earns a /methods/{slug} URL.
The Wisdom Steward (Petra Vance) owns the editorial gate. Her sign-off is the final step every newly-named method crosses before it lands in the registry and earns a public URL.
Quarterly under the Wisdom Steward. The review covers evidence-trail currency, Beat-structure clarity, kitchen-table runnability, cross-method overlap, and deprecation candidates. Findings publish to this page's version log.
Yes, with a public version-log entry on the method's page explaining why and (if applicable) a forward-pointer to its replacement. The page remains live so external citations resolve. The registry is append-only — slugs never return a 404.
Renames are rare and require both a redirect from the old slug to the new slug and version-log entries on both pages. The original byline stays on the rename version-log entry; the new method's byline reflects whichever steward owns the renamed method's editorial gate.
The Koydo Method Library hub lives at /methods on koydo.app. Each method has its own /methods/{slug} URL with a full dossier. The Wave-3 Koydo blog post "the eight Koydo methods that make homeschooling stick" is the editorial introduction to the registry.
