Frequently Asked Questions
Do we need to replace our LMS?
Almost never, and we will say so. Course delivery and the standards runtime are solved problems with heavy certification behind them. What institutions actually lack is the record system around the LMS: admissions, fees, attendance and a gradebook that survives a curriculum change. We integrate over LTI rather than replacing what works.
What does it cost, and how do you price it?
Hours times $40 to $100 per hour by role. The module table gives the range for each of the eight modules and the worked example shows 1,320 hours coming to about $85,800 at a $65 blend. QA at 20 to 30% and project management at 10 to 15% are quoted separately rather than hidden inside the module figures, and contingency is stated at 15 to 20% rather than padded in.
Who owns the code, the student data and the integrations?
You do. The code is yours on delivery, student records live in your infrastructure rather than ours, and the integrations are yours to keep running or hand to another supplier. We do not retain a copy of student data, and there is no arrangement under which it becomes training material.
Why do you keep talking about academic sessions?
Because it is the difference between education software and everything else. A student's marks, fees, class and even their name belong to a specific year and term. Store them flat and the first curriculum change makes history unreadable, with no way back short of reinterpreting every record you have issued.
Can you get us LTI Advantage certified?
We can build to the specification and prepare the submission. Certification itself runs through 1EdTech, requires paid membership and recurs annually, so it is a standing cost on their calendar rather than a one-off task on ours. We scope 1.3 with per-tenant keys from the start, because an LTI 1.1 tool is not upgraded by changing a version string.
How does the DPDP Act affect an Indian edtech product?
Substantially, because everyone under 18 is a child under the Rules, which means verifiable parental consent, no behavioural tracking and no targeted advertising to them. Rules were notified 14 November 2025 and phase through to full obligations by 13 May 2027. The build items are age assurance, guardian consent capture and a consent ledger you can reproduce on demand.
Which accessibility level do we actually need?
For US public schools and universities the DOJ Title II rule sets WCAG 2.1 AA, not 2.2, and an interim final rule on 20 April 2026 moved compliance to 26 April 2027 or 26 April 2028 depending on population. In Europe EN 301 549 maps to the same level. Build to it rather than retrofitting; the retrofit costs more than the build.
Can you migrate from our current SIS?
Yes, and the honest part is that migration is rarely small. It usually arrives as inconsistent spreadsheets with no stable identifier, so identity resolution comes before any loading. We also plan the cutover against your academic calendar, because fees and gradebook have one safe window a year.
Do you build proctoring?
We integrate it rather than building it, and we would steer you away from emotion or stress detection entirely. The EU AI Act prohibits emotion inference in education, which rules that category out for anyone selling into Europe regardless of how it demos.
You have one education client. Why should we trust the rest?
Fair question, and we would rather answer it than pad the page. GetMyUni is the one education platform we have built and it is described in full above. Everything else on this page is standards work, regulation and failure modes, which are checkable independently of us. If you want references beyond that, ask and we will tell you honestly what we can and cannot offer.
