Our mission
GradeWise exists because teachers spend too much time grading and too little time teaching.
We built a grading assistant that works the way teachers think — rubric-first, criterion-by-criterion, with every AI decision explainable and overridable. The teacher is always in the loop, always in control, and always the final authority on every grade.
What we stand for
These principles are not aspirational. They are design constraints that govern every product decision we make.
Human-in-the-loop, always
AI prepares a draft; the teacher decides. No grade is recorded, no feedback shared, and no action taken without explicit teacher approval. That commitment is enforced in the product — not just claimed in marketing.
Teacher agency first
Teachers set the rubric, define the criteria, override any score, and edit any feedback. The system surfaces information and recommendations — the teacher retains full authority over every instructional decision.
Student data is never sold
Student essays, scores, and skill data exist for one purpose: helping teachers improve instruction. The data is never sold, licensed, or used for advertising. Ever.
FERPA is a hard requirement
Student education records are protected by law and by design. We will sign Data Processing Agreements with institutions as required, and no student data is sent to third-party services without explicit authorization.
Who built it
We are educators and engineers who have lived the grading problem firsthand. Our team combines deep K-12 classroom experience with expertise in machine learning, product design, and data privacy.
