Rated catalogue of olympiad questions, in private beta

• Built a catalogue of all 328 British Mathematical Olympiad questions (1993–2026), each solved, classified by the techniques its solution uses (129 in use) and rated for difficulty against every student.
• Adapted a chess-style rating system in which question difficulties and student abilities are both learned from successful and unsuccessful attempts, with starting difficulties fitted to UKMT’s published results.
• Built the tutoring product around it: student rosters, per-student homework, typeset problem sets and a live record of every attempt, with plain-English search through the Claude API.
