Every unit is generated one of two ways. The toggle is called MESO Think and sits on the create-unit screen, just before you generate.

​
The two modes

That is the whole of the difference. Both modes plan against the same specification and the same outcomes you selected; Think spends more effort on the draft rather than covering anything different.

​
When to use Think

Worth it when:
  • the unit matters more than usual — a first run of a new topic, or something you will reuse across years
  • you want the reasoning behind the sequence to be more considered
  • you are not waiting on it to teach this afternoon
Not worth it when:
  • you are drafting quickly and intend to rewrite heavily anyway
  • you just want a sequence to react to
  • you are generating several units in a sitting
Standard is the sensible default, which is why it is the default. Reach for Think deliberately rather than habitually — it costs both time and credits.

​
Either way, you still review it

Detailed does not mean verified. A Think-generated plan can be confidently wrong in exactly the same ways as a standard one — dates, quotations, formulae and worked answers all still need checking, and cited outcome references still need verifying against the specification.
