  • UptimeLower than most99.95% here, typical 100%

Openness

How well Khan Academy keeps people informed when something goes wrong.

  • Reports problems openly: 8 posted on its status page in the last 90 days
  • Shows 5 separate parts, so you can see exactly what's affected
  • Keeps people updated: 3.6 updates per problem on average
  • Says what caused the problem: in 5 of 8 problems

Posting small problems openly is a good sign. An app that reports more problems isn't necessarily less reliable than one that reports fewer.
