Search-skill MCQs for mobile bank

Date parked: 2026-06-02 Triggered by: ohkjon r/FE_Exam feedback (2026-05-26) on NCEES CBT search UX parity Status: PARKED until iOS approval + real user base

Concept

Add MCQ questions that teach the student which keyword to search for a given lookup, instead of just testing whether they know the formula. Practices search strategy under exam time pressure — high-value because NCEES CBT search is keyword-driven.

Each Q is self-contained: "You need [thing]. Which keyword indexes it fastest?" — student doesn't need a handbook open, just needs to recognize the right indexable term. iOS-app-compatible because no in-app handbook required.

Revival trigger

  1. iOS v2.0.2 approved by Apple AND
  2. ≥10 active iOS users OR a paying customer specifically requests search-skill content

Building a wave with zero users to validate against = premature.

Cost when revived

  • ~1-2 days of work
  • ~$0.50 in Haiku Batch API for 50 questions
  • No DB migration, no iOS code change, no web code change
