The library
Cases worth arguing about
Every cover is generated from the case’s own tags, so no two look alike and none needed a stock photo.
The library is being reviewed. Published cases appear here as they land.
The structure
Twelve concepts, four questions
The IB gives you twelve concepts as a flat list. We group them by what they do, so the colour you see on a card is the same colour on a filter, on a prompt and on your own record.
