44 of 87 catalogue topics are authored, with 37 drills rehearsing them. Every one of them is judged: each carries a starter that has been shown to fail, at least two different correct answers that have been shown to pass, and a set of near-misses and cheats that have been shown to be caught. Nothing reaches this list until all of that holds.
