The problem it solves
Grading essay answers consumes hours of a teacher's week, and assessment stays inconsistent between teachers — and between the top and bottom of the same pile.
The solution
An Arabic language model tuned to defined rubrics suggests a grade with a written justification per criterion, while the teacher keeps the final decision. The system learns from the teacher's corrections and converges on their style.
Impact
In use at three private schools, cutting grading time by close to 60% according to the schools' own measurements.
