Real outcomes
It's not the scansion.
It's the grade.
Poetics students lose points for theory that doesn't ground in poems, prosody that confused stress with syllable, or essays that summarize rather than argue. AskSia tightens those.

For narrative theory I dropped Genette and Bal into AskSia. Got a Sia Note linking focalization and order to specific texts. The visual map saved my final.
3.0->3.7+0.7
The essay writer outlined my poetics paper with thesis and counterargument scaffolding. Citations Chicago format. AI detector under nine percent.
