Real outcomes
It's not the regime type.
It's the grade.
PoliSci students don't fail because they don't understand the cases, they fail because the case selection wasn't justified, the identification strategy was weak, or the theory wasn't sourced to its primary author. AskSia catches those.
3.2->3.8+0.6
For Comparative I dropped six country case studies into AskSia and got a Sia Note grouping institutional features. Parliamentary versus presidential systems became one clean comparison.
3.0->3.7+0.7
The essay writer outlined my term paper with thesis and counterargument scaffolding. Citations were Chicago format. AI detector under nine percent. Got an A minus on the rough draft.
