Is this a campus-wide licence?
No. Entry is a paid five-learner Discovery. The Focused Pilot that follows is one capability, one cohort, and one reviewer for 14–21 days, then keep / change / stop.
Institutional pilot
Plan a focused pilot
Most campus tools ask for a seat licence and a year. We ask for a paid Discovery, then a fortnight and a decision.
Built for: Career services leaders, Programme directors, Faculty, Learning innovation teams
Evidence links
Claim boundaries
- A ProfilEd focused pilot starts with a paid Discovery: five named learners, three sittings of 20–30 minutes within 14 days, paid before invites. If the institution continues, the Discovery fee is credited to the pilot, which runs paid seats for one capability, one cohort, and one reviewer for 14–21 days, then keep, change, or stop on Shared Footprint evidence. It is not a platform tour or certified-competence programme.
Common questions
Does Shared Footprint certify competence?
No. It is an inspectable practice record. Humans interpret it—including gaps. It is not a hire/no-hire stamp or CLR.
Do we need SSO on day one?
No. You can start with named accounts. If you need SAML/OIDC, LTI, or roster sync, confirm on the readiness call.
Where is institutional pricing?
Both steps are paid: a five-learner Discovery, then Focused Pilot seats. Pricing is shared on the readiness call, which you can request through our contact page.
Is there a free trial?
No. Institutional entry is a paid five-learner Discovery. If you continue, you buy Focused Pilot seats, and the Discovery fee is credited to the first invoice for those seats.
The offer
Most campus tools ask for a seat licence and a year. We ask for a paid Discovery, then a fortnight and a decision.
Five named learners first. Then one capability, one cohort, one reviewer, for fourteen to twenty-one days. At the end you keep, change, or stop.
Entry is paid. Pricing on the readiness call. Not a catalogue walkthrough. Not a Gem pack. Practice evidence is not certified competence—humans still interpret the Shared Footprint, including the gaps.
Fit check
Who this is for — and who should walk away.
If your only success metric is “students finished the module,” stop here. Completion is cheap. Retrieval under follow-up is not.
Career Services & placement
Directors who need interview follow-up evidence before the next drive—not another completion report.
Programme & case faculty
Leads who want learners to rehearse a recommendation under pushback, then show the trail to a human reviewer.
Wrong buyer jobs
Employer screening scores, LMS replacement, credential wallets out of the box, placement-rate promises, or competence certificates.
How you start
Start with a paid Discovery. Five named learners, then seats.
Five named learners
You name the learners and one reviewer. One practice mode. Nothing campus-wide.
Three sittings in 14 days
Three sittings of 20–30 minutes by default, all within fourteen days. Your reviewer opens the Shared Footprints.
Paid before invites
Discovery is paid before learner invites go out. Pricing on the readiness call.
Fee credited to the pilot
If you continue, the full Discovery fee is credited to your first Focused Pilot invoice. Then you buy paid seats: one capability, a cohort of up to 30, and one reviewer, ending in keep, change, or stop.
What you get
A bounded pilot that leaves inspectable evidence.
One Curriculum Graph goal
Tied to the capability you named—not every node in the catalogue.
Modes that fit the goal
Study Sessions, Story Quests, or Socratic AI Interviews—not all of them for show.
Shared Footprints with gaps
Selected attempts, feedback used, revisions, and what is still missing—accepted, missing, or not assessed.
Keep / change / stop
A written readout at the end, with your decision on it. Seats expand only after a keep.
Week by week
After Discovery: fourteen to twenty-one days of paid seats, then a written decision.
Days 1–3 · Scope lock
Name capability, cohort size, reviewer, and success question. Seats are purchased for the named cohort. Map one Curriculum Graph path. Access goes live for that cohort only. Output: a one-page scope sheet.
Days 4–14 · Practice runs
Learners practise. Your reviewer opens a sample of Shared Footprints between appointments. Look for attempt, follow-up, gap—and whether you would coach from this.
Days 15–21 · Review and decide
Three questions only: Did the footprint show behaviour your artefacts miss? Was reviewer load tolerable? Keep, change scope, or stop?
Evidence rule
What counts in this pilot — and what does not.
Counts
Stated conditions; attempt → feedback → revision; gaps marked honestly; human interpretation of the Shared Footprint.
Does not count
Completion %, time-on-platform, or “AI confidence” as competence; polished answers pasted in; claims that two weeks verify programme-wide readiness.
Out of scope
LMS/SIS replacement, campus-wide rollout, employer screening as the product, credential wallets as the primary deliverable, invented board-slide percentages.
Stack fit
You can start with named accounts. No campus-wide SSO is needed to see whether sittings work. If you need SAML/OIDC, LTI, or roster sync, confirm on the readiness call.
Boundary
A ProfilEd activity is an observed attempt under stated conditions.
Legal baselines
Privacy policy, DPDP notice, terms, and privacy rights live on the site.
HECVAT
If counsel requires a HECVAT, confirm on the readiness call. Do not assume a completed questionnaire exists until you receive it.
Not a hire/no-hire stamp
It does not certify workplace competence or predict who gets hired. Shared Footprint is inspectable; humans interpret it—including gaps.
Decision language
Write one of three sentences into your notes at the readout.
Expand next cohort
“The footprint showed follow-up behaviour our current artefacts miss; expand to [next cohort / capability].”
Retune the design
“Useful, but switch mode / shorten sittings / change reviewer sample rule.”
Successful refusal
“Not worth adviser time versus what we already have.” Stopping is success if it prevented a bad annual licence.
Would you coach from this?
If your reviewer cannot tell what changed between attempt one and two, fix practice design before you expand seats.
