Direct answers

What is GradeGuard?
Current

GradeGuard is a student-owned academic execution coach. It turns assignments and tests into a clear daily plan, offers guided help when a student is stuck, and carries the next action into focused follow-through.

How does GradeGuard decide what a student should do next?
Beta

The current planner considers information such as deadlines, difficulty, workload, and saved planner choices. It orders the work and gives a short reason for the first priority.

Does GradeGuard give students answers to graded work?
Boundary

No. For identifiable graded work, GradeGuard provides teaching support such as diagnosis, explanations, and hints without supplying the graded answer.

Is the Study Assistant a general-purpose chatbot?
Boundary

No. It is a structured learning tool with Plan, Explain, Practice, and Reflect modes.

What can a school administrator see?
Beta

Authorized school administrators can review aggregate-first signals such as enrollment, access, completion, and overdue information. The aggregate workspace does not expose normal student assignment and test details or raw anonymous pilot responses.

Does GradeGuard automatically notify an adult or school in an emergency?
Not Offered

No. GradeGuard is not monitored for emergencies and does not automatically notify a school, parent or guardian, trusted adult, emergency services, or anyone else. Possible crisis language receives crisis resources and directions toward real-world help.

Can a school start using GradeGuard with real students immediately?
Boundary

No. The current beta can be evaluated, but real-student school use requires written school authorization and GradeGuard's approved activation checks. Technical setup or a join code is not authorization.

Has GradeGuard published school-pilot results?
Boundary

No. The public pilot scorecard explains the approved measurement design; it does not report completed pilot outcomes.

Does GradeGuard sell student data?
Current

No. Selling student data is not part of GradeGuard's service model.

Can an individual student sign up?
Current

Personal signup is open. School-managed use has separate authorization and activation requirements.
