Consultancy

Technology decisions, made with evidence.

Most schools and centres already own more software than they use. We work with leaders to find where technology genuinely improves how an institution supports a child — and where it only adds work for the staff who are already stretched.

What we advise on

Four strands, one question.

Institutions usually arrive with one of these and discover they need another. Pick a strand to see what the work involves and what you get at the end.

Records, assessments, IEPs

Digital systems

Secure, efficient systems for managing student records, assessments and individual education plans — including technology that makes assessment and IEP work faster to run and easier to review.

The work involves
  • Review of how records, assessments and IEPs move through the institution today
  • Where paper, spreadsheets and software overlap or contradict each other
  • Guidance on educational software, and on what to retire
  • Access and privacy scoped to the people who actually need a record
What you get
A written plan for the systems to keep, replace or retire, sequenced so staff absorb one change at a time.
Typical length
Four to eight weeks for the audit and plan, longer with implementation support.
How it runs

Five stages, no surprises.

The first conversation is free and carries no obligation. Everything after it is agreed in writing before it starts.

01
First conversation
Thirty minutes on what is not working. Free, and often enough to tell you which strand you need.
02
Audit
Time on site with staff and, where appropriate, students — plus a look at the systems you already run.
03
Recommendations
A written report: what to change, what to keep, what to stop paying for, and in what order.
04
Implementation
We stay through the change, train the staff who will run it, and adjust when reality disagrees with the plan.
05
Review
A return visit against the outcomes agreed at the start, on whatever cycle suits you.
Who we work with

Four kinds of institution.

The strands are the same; what changes is who is in the room and what a good decision looks like for them.

Mainstream schools

Where neurodivergent children sit in ordinary classrooms and the systems were never designed with them in mind.

Special schools and centres

Specialist staff with deep expertise, often held back by record-keeping that eats teaching time.

Clinics and practices

Psychologists and therapists who need records, scheduling and assessment to hold together as one system.

NGOs and programmes

Organisations running education programmes at scale who have to show what changed and why.

Why us

We have built the things we advise on.

Our team of designers, technologists and subject matter experts has published research at CHI and shipped screening tools, remedial apps and a practice management system into Pakistani schools and clinics. When we say a system will not survive contact with a busy staffroom, it is because we have watched it happen.

We take no commission from software vendors. If the honest recommendation is to keep what you have, that is the recommendation.

Common questions.

Start with the thing that is not working.

Tell us what prompted you to look at this — a system nobody uses, an inspection coming, a plan you cannot staff. Thirty minutes is usually enough to know what to do next.

What to bring to the first call
Roughly how many students or clients you support
What software you already pay for
Who would own the change internally
Anything you have already tried that did not work
None of it is required. It just makes the half hour more useful.
