## Slide 1: The AI-Native University
- Thesis by Naman Jain, Experiment Labs (2026).
- Focus on the need for a new build in education after 800 years of the same model.

## Slide 2: The Collapse of Traditional Institutions
- Public trust in college dropped from 70% to 36% decade-over-decade.
- International enrollment is down 17% in Fall 2025.
- Average federal student loan balance reaches $39,633 in 2026.

## Slide 3: Skills over Credentials
- 81% of employers prioritize skills over degrees.
- Major companies (Google, Apple, BofA, Delta) have dropped degree requirements for many roles.

## Slide 4: The Fragmented Stack
- Knowledge, execution, and credentials have been unbundled.
- No single institution owns the 'full stack' of education anymore.

## Slide 5: The Capability Engine
- 620M+ people transition careers annually.
- Workplace skills now have a half-life of only ~5 years.

## Slide 6: AI and Personalized Tutoring
- AI tutoring achieves 0.73 - 1.3 σ effect size gain.
- 29% higher median post-test scores with AI vs. active learning.

## Slide 8-9: 6 Pillars of AI-Native Education
- 1. Quantification Engine (measuring 75+ parameters).
- 2. Personalized Pathways (curriculum-of-one).
- 3. Execution Infrastructure (real-world projects).
- 4. AI + Mentor Layer (1:500 mentor ratio).
- 5. Verified Outcome Graph (dynamic, portable records).
- 6. Compounding Data Flywheel.

## Slide 12: Execution Partners
- Network includes Zomato, OYO, Physics Wallah, and more.

## Slide 16-18: Market and Disruption
- Target Addressable Market (TAM) of $810Bn+ for human capital spend.
- Disruption factors: AI economics, enrollment cliff, and cost crisis.
