Claim boundaries

  • A ProfilEd focused pilot runs one capability with 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

Is this a campus-wide licence?

No. The focused pilot is one capability, one cohort, and one reviewer for 14–21 days, then keep / change / stop.

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?

Many pilots start with named accounts. Bring IT when you need SAML/OIDC, LTI, or roster sync.

The offer

Most campus tools ask for a seat licence and a year. We ask for a fortnight and a decision.

One capability. One cohort. One reviewer. Fourteen to twenty-one days. At the end you keep, change, or stop.

That is the offer. 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.

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, Socratic AI Interviews, or AI Case Lab—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 readout at the end. No pressure to expand before you have seen the sittings.

Week by week

Fourteen to twenty-one days, then a written decision.

  • Days 1–3 · Scope lock

    Name capability, cohort size, reviewer, and success question. 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

    Many pilots start with named accounts—no campus-wide SSO required to see whether sittings work. Bring IT when you need SAML/OIDC or LTI.

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

    Available on request—ask in the readiness call if counsel requires it. 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.
