Euclid

What it resolves for the institution

In high-stakes written assessment, the institutional risk is rarely the grade itself. It is the absence of a structured record showing how that grade was reached. Faculty may judge rigorously, but if criteria, evidence, and reasoning are not formalized in a consistent way, decisions become difficult to defend across cohorts, reviewers, and disputes.

Euclid addresses that gap by turning evaluator judgment into explicit, criterion-based reasoning. It does not replace academic judgment. It structures it, so the institution can rely on decisions that remain coherent and reviewable over time.

This is what makes grade decisions auditable at institutional level, not only understandable at individual evaluator level.

What it produces

A structured grade-justification report showing, criterion by criterion, how the final grade is set: criteria applied, evidence cited, and reasoning documented in a format ready for review, deliberation, and institutional recordkeeping.

What it costs not to have it

Without structured grade justification, evaluators diverge silently, review cycles slow down, and contested grades are harder to defend. The institution keeps decisions, but loses the evidence base that makes those decisions durable under scrutiny.
