Vendor vetting · Ongoing protection
Know what every edtech vendor
can do with your students’ data,
before you sign, and every day after.
Your district runs on dozens of edtech tools, each governed by a contract and a privacy policy almost no one has the time to read closely. We read them for you.
We check each vendor against your district’s governance requirements before you sign (while you still have the leverage) and keep watching for the moment a vendor quietly changes the rules after. Two connected services, one continuous line of protection.

How it works
Two services, one continuous line. The first tells you whether to sign; the second makes sure the deal you signed stays the deal you have.
01
Pre-Signature Engagement
Before you sign
one-time · per engagement
What it does
Before you adopt or renew a tool, we capture the vendor’s governing documents, read exactly what they permit themselves to do with your data, and measure it against your district’s governance requirements, while you still have the leverage of not having signed.
How we do it
We pull the vendor’s current terms and privacy documents with our
Pre-Service Lookup, then read the obligations, permissions, and fine-print discretion buried inside them.
What you receive
A plain-language read on the vendor (what data they take, who they share it with, how long they keep it, and where it conflicts with your requirements), plus a clear recommendation.

02
Post-Signature Retainer
After you sign
ongoing · optional
What it does
Vendors change their terms quietly, long after the ink is dry. We keep watching yours and tell you the moment a change crosses what you signed or what your district requires.
How we keep watch
Scheduled re-checks on our
Standing Calendar, plus an immediate read whenever a vendor announces a change or discloses a security incident.
What you receive
Plain-language drift alerts, an updated recommendation when something moves, and a ready-to-use fact sheet the moment one of your vendors has an incident, so you’re never reading the news at midnight to find out what it means for you.

Why our findings hold up
Every conclusion we hand you is traceable to the vendor’s own words. Here is the method behind the work.
From the vendor’s words to your decision
Capture the documents → structure what they say → read the obligations → judge against your requirements → watch for change.
Structure
Dense prose becomes a clear record (what data, who it’s shared with, how long it’s kept), each point tied to its exact source.
Read the obligations
We separate what a vendor must do from what they merely may do: the discretion that fine print hides.
Judge
The vendor is scored against your district’s governance requirements, not a generic checklist.
Watch for change
Under a retainer, we compare each new version against what you signed, on the
Standing Calendar.
Report
You get findings in plain language, with the clause behind every conclusion available on request.
Have a vendor you’re about to sign?
Start with a short intro call: no obligation, just a conversation about the tool in front of you and what your district needs from it. Want to see a sample of what each option’s deliverables include? Just ask on the call.
