I scored 32/34 on my
Extended Essay.

The problem

Like most IB students, I started my EE with no idea what I was doing. Six subjects, IAs piling up, college applications — and a 4,000-word research paper that felt impossible. My school gave me a supervisor and three meetings. That was it.

The system

So I built my own process. A research method I call the EE Dump. I reverse-engineered the IB criteria so every section targeted specific marks. I figured out which advice from my supervisor to take — and which to politely ignore.

The result

Predicted a C. Finished with an A and 32 out of 34. And I didn't even proofread.

The realisation

Once the EE was over, I almost sold my essay on Clastify for $7. Then I realised my essay itself wasn't the valuable part. The process behind it was. A student can read my essay and still have no idea how to build their own. But if I showed them exactly how I approached the research, structure, writing, and strategy, that would actually help.

The resource lab

So instead of selling fish for $7, I built a free resource lab that teaches you how to fish. This isn't a textbook written by a professor who hasn't been an IB student in 20 years. It's a system built by someone who was in your exact position recently enough to remember what actually helped and what was useless noise.

The tools

I ran my own essay through one of the most advanced AI models in the world and wrote honest commentary — including where the AI was wrong and where I'd do things differently. I built the tools I wish I had: an interactive research workspace, a source tracker, a study calendar, and a timeline planner that works backwards from your deadline. Because PDFs collect dust. Tools get used.
