The 5-Tier Packaging Guide
From prompt template to full app — pick the simplest tier that works.
For: Teachers · AI leads · Heads of department · Anyone tempted to build an app
Stop building apps when a doc will do. Most "AI builds" in schools are at Tier 3 when they should be at Tier 0. Tier 3 looks impressive. Tier 0 looks small. Impressive is not the goal. Use is the goal.
This guide names the five tiers — saved prompt template · reusable context pack · custom GPT or Project · no-code build · real coded app — gives a build time and use case for each, and ends with the diagnostic question to run before any build.
If your AI build needs a maintenance plan, you have over-packaged it. Strip a tier. See if it still works.
