What changes when it is education & edtech

Two reports disagreeing about revenue destroys confidence in the whole platform. A semantic layer with agreed definitions is what prevents that, and it is a governance decision as much as a technical one.

In education & edtech, student data protection and academic integrity constrain what may be automated at all. That single fact reshapes how bi dashboards & analytics has to be built here, the guardrails, the approval points and the evidence trail are design inputs rather than things bolted on before go-live.

The workload we are most often asked to take on first is administrative query handling, usually integrated against assessment platforms. We start from the constraint, not the capability, what the system must never do, who signs off, and what happens when it is wrong.

Multi-model by default, so a provider outage is a routing decision rather than an incident. Six weeks to something running in production, not six quarters to a strategy document.

Questions from this sector

Will this help students cheat?

Design decides that. We build assistance that shows working and prompts reasoning rather than producing submittable answers, and we set that boundary with your academic leadership.

Is student data protected?

Yes, minimisation, retention limits and access control, with particular care where minors are involved.

Which BI tool do you use?

Power BI, Metabase, Superset or a custom build, chosen on your licensing, team skills and how much customisation you need. We are not tied to one vendor.

Why do our reports disagree?

Almost always because the same metric is defined differently in different places. A semantic layer with one agreed definition fixes it structurally rather than report by report.

Can non-technical staff ask their own questions?

Yes, natural-language querying over the governed semantic layer, so answers stay consistent with the dashboards.
