Where we do our best work

Assessment, proctoring & operational scale

The engagements below reflect the kind of work we're built for — protecting assessment integrity, scaling proctoring, and standing up offshore operations without losing quality.

Representative engagement · Proctoring at scale

A growing online program needed to scale proctored exams from a few hundred to tens of thousands of sessions a term — without integrity complaints ballooning. We redesigned the proctoring workflow and support model so volume went up and escalations went down.

Representative engagement · Offshore operations

An EdTech provider wanted to stand up an offshore operations and support team without sacrificing quality. We designed the hiring, training, and QA structure so the offshore team reached parity with the onshore benchmark within two quarters.

Representative engagement · Assessment & accreditation

A regional university came to us eight months out from a reaffirmation visit with gaps flagged in their prior review. We stood up an evidence-mapping system and a documented self-study so they walked into the site visit prepared instead of scrambling.

Representative engagement · Data & decisions

A program was sitting on years of assessment data but struggling to act on it. We built closing-the-loop templates and a reporting cadence so the data drove documented decisions their accreditors could see.

Illustrative engagements

What the work looks like, by service line

The situation

A self-study or site visit is 9 to 18 months out. Evidence is real but scattered across program spreadsheets, committee minutes, and a shared drive nobody has audited in two years. The narrative can be written. The evidence behind it cannot yet be defended in a room.

Typical scope: 10 to 14 weeks for the readiness build, fractional support through the visit
What we do
  • Inventory existing evidence and map it against the standards your accreditor actually applies, not last cycle's report template
  • Rebuild measurement design in the three programs with the weakest data maturity, since that is where a peer team will look
  • Document a full improvement loop (finding, decision, re-measurement) so at least one program is a working exemplar
  • Name a single owner for the evidence portfolio and set the cadence that keeps it current between cycles
What good looks like
  • Claims in the self-study each trace to evidence someone can produce on request
  • Assessment instruments, rubrics, and sampling stay consistent year over year
  • Improvement decisions are documented with the measurement that followed them

In their words

What working with us feels like

Scaling our proctoring operation felt impossible until we had someone who'd actually done it. Cost per exam dropped while satisfaction went up.
Director of Testing · professional certification body
They understood high-stakes assessment from the inside. The recommendations were practical and operational, not theoretical.
VP of Academic Operations · online university
Building an offshore team was daunting. EdTechXperts gave us the playbook and the guardrails to do it right the first time.
