This week Northgate University began a semester-long pilot with 40 first-year engineering students. It's our first institutional deployment, and it's structured deliberately: no institutional dashboards, no professor-facing analytics beyond aggregate use. The pilot is a consumer product, delivered at scale.

The reason for the constraint is the same reason the parent dashboard shows no content. The pedagogical stance requires that the student's work be private. Instructors can see whether their class is using the tool. They cannot see any individual attempt.

We'll report back at the end of the semester with what we learned. If you run a program that would like to pilot, our education team would love to hear from you.
