Executive Brief

Business Problem Solved

Traditional university assessments are often opaque, slow to grade, and inconsistent between instructors. Students don’t always understand how they’re evaluated, and faculty spend large amounts of time creating and marking assessments while still facing bias and quality issues. The AI solution aims to make assessments more transparent, consistent, and explainable, while reducing manual workload.

Value Drivers

Reduced grading time and administrative workload for facultyMore consistent and bias-reduced scoring across courses and instructorsImproved transparency for students via clear feedback and rubricsFaster turnaround of assessments and result publicationHigher assessment quality via item analysis and anomaly detectionBetter auditability for accreditation and quality assurance

Strategic Moat

Deep embedding into university assessment workflows (LMS integration, rubric templates, program-level analytics) and access to historical assessment and grading data that can be used to continuously improve rubrics, benchmarks, and quality checks.
