ProverbAI is in private testing and is not yet available to institutions. This note sets out what the first release is designed to do, who uses it, and where each capability stands on the date above. We will update it as that changes.
The problem the first release addresses
Most assessment offices review each program's assessment plan every year or on a regular cycle. The work matters, and it is slow. Plans are divided among reviewers who read them differently, comments are combined by hand, and feedback often reaches programs after the next cycle has begun. The first release concentrates on that one job, the annual review of program assessment plans, and does it carefully before taking on the rest of accreditation work.
How the review cycle works
- The assessment office sets up the institution's programs from its existing program list, reviews every change before it is saved, and invites a program head for each program.
- At the start of the academic year, the office decides which programs are due for review, sets the deadline and assigns reviewers.
- Each program due for review submits its annual assessment plan.
- ProverbAI reviews the plan, with evidence from the plan behind every finding, and drafts feedback for the program.
- A reviewer in the assessment office confirms or adjusts every result and the feedback. Nothing reaches a program without their approval.
- When the year's reviews are complete, each program receives a report that shows its results beside its college and the institution as a whole.
- Reports stay with the program, alongside earlier years, whoever leads it next.
Who uses it
Access is by invitation only. People sign in with their email address and a one-time code, so there are no passwords to manage. ProverbAI is set up around the institution's own structure rather than a fixed chart of roles:
- The people the institution chooses to lead the review see every program and every year, open the cycle, assign reviewers, approve results and publish reports.
- Reviewers see only the programs assigned to them, and accept or adjust ProverbAI's findings for those programs.
- The people who lead each program submit its plan, correspond with the assessment office and read its reports. Access belongs to the program rather than the individual, so a new lead inherits the program's full history.
Accreditors do not sign in. The assessment office briefs senior leadership, and accreditors see only what the institution chooses to share.
Where each part stands
Working in testing
Invitation-only sign-in. Setting up programs and inviting the people who lead them. Handing a program over to a new lead. Opening the year and assigning reviewers. Submitting plans. And ProverbAI's review itself: findings backed by evidence from the plan, and drafted feedback.
In development
Reviewer sign-off, adjusting a result with a recorded reason, editing the drafted feedback, and a full independent review by a reviewer.
Coming next
Comparative program reports, publishing reports to programs, messages between programs and the assessment office, and notifications and reminders.
Planned
Ask Proverb, an assistant inside the app, and accreditation modules beyond program assessment. Program assessment comes first; other modules will follow it.
What we are not claiming
We are evaluating ProverbAI against trained reviewers on real assessment plans. We have not published figures on how often it agrees with them, and we will not do so until a blind test on real plans gives us evidence we can stand behind. Until then, a reviewer confirms every plan in the first year, whatever ProverbAI found.
No accreditor endorsement is implied by anything on this site, and nothing here should be read as a description of results at any institution.
