For schools — grades 3–8
Built to sit inside a classroom.
New York’s own tests, every question carrying its published standard, and no accounts for children. The pilot request asks for five things.
Standards from NYSED · no accounts for children · §2-d, FERPA and COPPA explained in plain language below
Every question carries its standard.
The passages and problems are the ones New York publishes from its own grades 3–8 tests in English language arts and mathematics, and every question keeps the standard code the state printed beside it: the Next Generation Learning Standards, loaded from NYSED’s own documents, every code verified against its source page. The counts are at the foot of this page.
Nothing is mapped by guesswork — an item with no published alignment gets none. Where the state published it, each question also carries the percentage of New York students who answered it correctly.

The teacher dashboard.
The class view is built. For each learner: attempts, mastery by skill, time on task, and the Socratic comeback rate — how often a child who was stuck came back and got it right after Archie asked, rather than told. Across the room, the same four numbers as a whole.
There are no names on it, because the system holds none: a teacher sees the learners as the cards they handed out. Beside it, the item-review screen — every question a child meets is approved first — and the audit viewer, where every AI call is logged.
No accounts for children.
A child signs in with an explorer card the teacher hands out — a short code and a colour, scanned or typed — and the device remembers them from then on. No email, no password, no name: the product has no field for one.
Teachers sign in with the Google account the school already gave them; the district registers the app once. Schools operate under a school-consent model, which is a different flow from the parent one, and it has its own page.
Automatic roster sync from a student information system, Google Classroom or Canvas is not included. It is real work and it is quotable separately; we would rather say so here than have it discovered during implementation.

The legal detail is one click away, under Legal.
- No student’s or teacher’s name, identifier or contact details ever leave our closed system. What a child or a teacher contributes is scrubbed on our own servers first by the Privacy ShieldOur own software, running on our own servers, that takes names, identifiers and contact details out of what a child or teacher contributes before any of it leaves our system. If it fails or runs out of time, nothing is sent; if it is unsure whether something is personal, it removes it., software that never calls out, and if that scrubbing fails the request is refused rather than sent. The categories a teacher’s plan is built from — grade, home language and the supports the school has planned — go as they are, as categories; the child privacy notice lists them.
- The database enforces tenant separation itself (row-level securityA rule enforced by the database itself, not by our code: one school’s data cannot be read inside another school’s session, even if a program tried.): a district’s data cannot be read by another district’s session, and that is a property of the database, not of our application code.
- Every hint request is logged before its answer is returned: what was removed, counted by kind, never the words. The log is append-only.
- Data lives in AWS (US), encrypted, with keys we rotate.
- A district can require deletion of a learner’s records; every table is emptied and the deletion is itself logged.
- Education Law §2-dNew York’s student data privacy law. It limits what a school’s vendors may do with a child’s information and requires the school to publish it — we are one of those vendors, and we build to it., FERPAThe federal law that gives parents rights over their child’s education records — to see them, and to control who else does. and COPPAThe federal law for children under thirteen online. A service needs a parent’s verifiable consent before collecting a child’s information — which is why the age gate comes first here. are build constraints, not features; the Parents’ Bill of Rights and the data protection agreement are one click away.
How it is formalised: a data privacy agreement under Education Law §2-d is signed with each school or district before any child signs in, and we supply the technical evidence it rests on — the encryption configuration, the list of service providers, and the tests behind every statement on this page. The architecture follows SOC 2 principles; a formal audit is available to a district that needs one.
The form asks for the minimum.
Two or three schools, supervised, with the data privacy agreement signed before a child logs in. Five fields, because five is what it takes to reply usefully. We do not ask for a phone number, a district size or a budget range — and never a child’s name.
Agreed with you, not posted here.
A pilot costs a school nothing. After it, the price for a district is agreed directly with you, in writing, to fit the schools and the classes it covers. Nothing on this site is the offer; the conversation is, and the pilot request above is how it starts.
The course has its own page. Plate 02 — the whole forty-minute plan — is readable there without sign-up.
