Deliverables, stated up front.

Included in scope

  • Outcome evidence framework

Frequently asked

EdTech, in plain terms.

Can we still make outcome claims?

Yes, with verifiable learner data behind them and clear scope. Unqualified claims are the exposure.

How do we overcome category scepticism?

Evidence and restraint. Marketing louder in a distrusted category increases distrust.

What regulations apply?

Advertising standards, consumer protection, and increasing scrutiny of coaching and test-prep claims specifically.

A category that spent its benefit of the doubt.

Every claim now attracts scrutiny

Outcome claims that passed unchallenged five years ago now draw regulatory attention, media investigation and parent scepticism. Substantiation comes before communication.

Parents and learners are separate audiences

They evaluate differently, worry about different things and respond to different evidence. One message serving both serves neither.

Transparency as positioning

In a category associated with aggressive selling, published refund rates and completion data are a genuine differentiator.
