All the grading capabilities teachers need, with approval built in.

Core Capabilities

1. CAPABILITY 01

   Rubrics stay teacher-owned

   Build from your own criteria, start from a template, or reuse the rubric your department already trusts. Assignment snapshots keep existing grades anchored to the rubric version teachers approved.

   • Custom criteria and point scales
   • Reusable across assignments
   • Rubric snapshots protect existing grades

2. CAPABILITY 02

   Essay intake fits the class set

   Manual upload works for the first class set. Connected classroom, LMS, roster, and SSO workflows can be added only where the school or district has approved the setup.

   • PDF, DOCX, and plain text supported
   • Auto-matched to your roster when available
   • Integration paths stay approval-gated

3. CAPABILITY 03

   AI drafts against the rubric

   The draft output is criterion-level: scores, written justifications, confidence signals, and feedback language that can be inspected before a teacher decides what is accurate.

   • Per-criterion scores and justifications
   • Confidence signals for closer review
   • Drafts are validated before they are shown

   Draft score summary

   AI confidence: medium

   Teacher review is required before anything is recorded.

   Evidence

   3 / 4

   Relevant source use; one explanation needs teacher review.

   Organization

   4 / 4

   Clear claim and logical paragraph sequence.

   Style

   2 / 4

   Sentence variety is developing.

4. CAPABILITY 04

   Review controls stay explicit

   Every AI suggestion is optional. Teachers can read the reasoning, edit feedback, override scores, and leave work pending until they are ready to approve.

   • Teacher review required
   • Editable feedback drafts
   • Score overrides remain explicit

   Essay context

   Claim, evidence, and explanation appear beside the rubric so the teacher can verify the draft.

   Use of Evidence

   AI confidence: medium

   AI draft score: 3 / 4

   Evidence is relevant and mostly explained. One source needs a clearer link back to the claim before approval.

5. CAPABILITY 05

   Grade locking and exports are separate

   Approved grades stay pending until the teacher locks them. Export reports and CSV summaries are available when reviewed feedback is ready to share or archive.

   • Grades lock only after approval
   • PDF and CSV exports
   • Audit-friendly review trail

   Grades locked by teacher

   Export includes reviewed feedback only after explicit approval.

6. CAPABILITY 06

   Class patterns inform the next lesson

   Rubric results can become class-level patterns, common skill gaps, and a teacher worklist so grading evidence points toward what to reteach next.

   • Class heatmap by rubric skill
   • Common issues and score distributions
   • Prioritized teacher worklist
