Questions, answered
Will it message parents or students directly?
No. WebRun only prepares the progress summary and texts it to the coach. Sharing it with a parent or student is the coach's own call.
What counts as a notable rating jump?
Any meaningful rating change or an unusually active or quiet week compared to the student's normal pattern gets flagged for the coach to review.
Does it play or analyze games on the student's behalf?
No. It only reads the rating and activity numbers already visible on the student's profile. It never plays a move or submits an analysis.
