Cybersecurity concepts are cumulative, yet conventional learning platforms commonly report only aggregate scores and provide uniform remediation. This paper proposes a rule-based cybersecurity mastery learning platform that detects concept-level knowledge gaps and uses OpenAI-assisted generation to deliver curriculum-aligned remedial support. Assessment items are mapped to learning outcomes and knowledge components through a validated Table of Specifications and Q-matrix. A transparent rule engine computes module and component mastery, applies an initially proposed 80% criterion, ranks detected gaps, and controls progression. OpenAI is limited to generating explanations, examples, hints, guided exercises, and self-check items from faculty-approved evidence; it does not determine grades or progression. The planned descriptive-developmental study uses incremental system development, expert validation, pilot deployment, pretest remediation-reassessment measures, an AI-response rubric, and an adapted ISO/IEC 25010 quality instrument. The proposed architecture aims to make remediation personalized, auditable, and consistent while preserving instructor oversight, data privacy, cybersecurity safety, and academic integrity.
