Why does AI feedback help with NAPLAN Writing?

Writing is the only NAPLAN task where AI feedback genuinely replaces a human tutor for most learners. BandBoost's AI identifies the specific structural or linguistic patterns that are holding the piece back — for example, "Your argument is clear in the introduction but you haven't addressed the counterargument. In persuasive writing, addressing and dismissing the counterargument is what separates a Band 7 from a Band 8."
