Make It Stick
Peter C. Brown, Henry L. Roediger III, Mark A. McDaniel · 2014 · Harvard University Press
Synthesizes learning science around retrieval, spacing, interleaving, and generation for durable skill building.
After you save this
getsavv makes completed learning legible: program, date, and the artifact you shipped — shareable proof, not vapor.
Continue with clarity
The saved item should reopen into a clear next step.
Track meaningful progress
Progress should show stages completed and workflows rebuilt.
Capture proof of work
The goal is a visible artifact, not just a saved reference.

Synthesizes learning science around retrieval, spacing, interleaving, and generation for durable skill building.
Journey
How this should turn into capability inside getsavv
Saving a strong source should push the learner through a visible sequence from extraction to proof.
Step 1
Add
Save the cohort, challenge, course, or workshop you want to finish.
Step 2
Plan
Turn the program into a concrete completion checklist with the right next step.
Step 3
Complete
Move from enrolled to in progress to completed with visible momentum.
Step 4
Capture
Attach the artifact, workflow, doc, or demo that proves the work happened.
Step 5
Publish
Share one public proof page showing the program, date, and outcome.
Values
The values that should stay visible while learning from this source
Completion before collection
The product should prioritize finished programs over saved intent.
Proof over certificates
A visible artifact matters more than a badge with no work attached.
Make evidence shareable
Every completed program should be easy to share with recruiters, managers, or instructors.
Keep the next step obvious
Progress should reopen into one concrete action, not a vague reminder to come back later.
