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 |
