# MetaPet Schools Misuse and Over-engagement Risk Assessment

## Product boundary

`MetaPet Schools` is intentionally narrow. It is not designed as an always-on companion, a reward loop, or a habit-forming retention product.

## Risks reviewed

| Risk | Control already in scope |
| --- | --- |
| Students seek extra time beyond the lesson | Sessions stay teacher-led and time-bounded |
| Teachers interpret activity labels as behaviour scores | Use descriptive categories only and avoid surveillance framing |
| Device-sharing creates repeated casual use | Keep the runtime inside the school profile and clear local data after pilot use |
| Pilot materials drift back toward lore or identity framing | Keep school copy separate from broader MetaPet product language |

## Runtime controls

- No student accounts
- No streaks
- No upgrade prompts
- No pricing prompts
- No social features
- No open-ended chat
- No public sharing without adult initiation

## Pilot controls

- Cap normal classroom use to a short planned lesson window
- Use the teacher guide and staff briefing before rollout
- Record any signs of over-engagement in the incident log
- Stop or narrow the pilot if the classroom boundary is not holding
