Keep data safe and every action recorded
Each customer's data is kept separate. People only see what their role allows, and an audit log shows who did what and when, including any change made in a recheck.
- Each customer's data kept separate
- Role-based access for admins, scan staff, markers, and moderators
- Audit log for marking, approvals, and rechecks
- Rechecks after results, with a full record of changes
Isolation, roles, and secure access
High-stakes exams need each institution’s data kept apart—and each staff member seeing only what their job allows.
Separate data per customer
Your scripts, marks, and users are isolated from every other institution on the platform. Multi-tenant by design.
Roles that match the exam office
Exam admins, scan operators, markers, moderators, and agency staff get different screens—exam office vs marker vs external agency.
Controlled script access
Answer images use secure links, not open URLs. Access follows role and exam—not “anyone with the link.”
Enterprise-grade connections
Traffic uses modern encryption in transit, consistent with other enterprise SaaS products you already buy.
Prove how every mark was reached
When a board or university is audited, you need a log—not a folder of emails.
Audit log of important actions
See who marked, reviewed, approved a batch, exported results, or changed a score—and when it happened.
Workflow steps enforced
Scripts follow the steps you defined (uploaded → QC approved → assigned → marked → finalized). Policy shortcuts are blocked.
Recheck with full change history
After publication, allow a controlled recheck. Old mark, new mark, who changed it, and why—all stored.
Ready for scrutiny
Combine audit logs with export records so you can explain a final result to regulators, students, or internal review panels.

drawMarking on screen
Examiners read scanned handwritten answer sheets on screen, write notes on the page, enter marks per question or one total, save and continue later, and send a script back to quality check if needed.
auto_awesomeOCR & AI help
Turn long handwritten answers into readable text, and get optional AI suggestions for marks. The examiner always decides.
summarizeResults & reports
Dashboards show progress and bottlenecks; export results to Excel or CSV; publish marks to students on the portal or a simple lookup when you enable that option.
paymentsMarker payments
