NORTHN STUDY · FOR FAMILIES, TUTORS, SCHOOLS, AND INTEGRITY OFFICES

Proof of learning. Not surveillance.

A study companion that starts with a guardian's consent and ends with a Friday report. An authorship certificate that discloses AI use instead of guessing at it.

SEALED

  1. Guardian consent — sealed

    before a single glance

  2. Session 3 — on plan: stoichiometry

    002 · f694

    classification sealed · frame discarded

  3. Nudge — refocus

  4. Friday report

    004 · 8f9a

    hours by topic · streaks · focus

  5. Guardian seat — reports only

    never the screen

The guardian reads a digest. The pixels never left the machine.

WHO IT'S FOR

Two products, one record

One chain. Each seat reads only what it was granted.

STUDY COMPANION · GUARDIANS, TUTORS, SCHOOLS

A companion that starts with permission

Nothing is observed until a guardian consents to exactly what is observed. Sessions are matched to a locked weekly plan; the guardian reads a Friday report, never a feed.

GUARDIAN SEAT

WHAT THIS SEAT SEES

  • Consent sealed before a single glance
  • Friday report — hours by topic, streaks, focus
  • Nudges marked advisory, never sealed as fact
  • Never the screen. Never a feed.

AUTHORSHIP STUDIO · UNIVERSITIES, WRITING PROGRAMS, CERTIFIERS

A certificate that says how the work was made

Identity verified once, presence attested each session, drafts sealed as they happen, AI assistance disclosed on a ledger.

AUTHORSHIP CERTIFICATE

WHAT THIS SEAT SEES

  • Identity verified once · presence attested this session
  • Composition sealed as it happened
  • AI assist — disclosed on the ledger
  • Institution seat — reads a record, runs no detector

THE OPPOSITE OF A DETECTOR

Integrity tools point a detector at students after the fact. This is the opposite.

The student earns a sealed record of how the work actually happened. Three mechanisms keep it from being surveillance with a nicer name.

  1. 1

    The consent gate

    Without a guardian's consent the engine refuses — guardian-consent-missing. The consent itself is the first chain entry.

  2. 2

    Classify and discard

    One AI glance at the working screen produces a classification — on plan, off plan — and nothing else. The frame is discarded on the machine.

  3. 3

    Scoped seats

    A guardian sees a topic digest. An institution verifies a certificate. Neither sees a feed, and every read is itself sealed.

AUTHORSHIP, HONESTLY

What the certificate actually claims

Never "no AI was used." The claim is narrower and more useful: here is exactly how this was made.

How the record is built →
01Identity bound once, presence re-attested

Each session re-attests liveness with an expiry. A stale session is refused — liveness-missing.

liveness-missing

02A composition timeline

Drafts and passes sealed as they happen. A paper that appeared whole at 2 a.m. looks different from one that grew over three weeks.

drafts sealed in sequence

03An AI-assist ledger

Assistance is disclosed, and sealed facts are separated from advisory nudges. Detection is never run.

WHERE IT STANDS

What is built. What is roadmap.

BUILT

6
  • Guardian consent and the guardian-consent-missing refusal
  • Classify-and-discard glances
  • Friday learning reports
  • Per-session liveness attestations
  • Authorship certificate
  • Guardian and institution seats with sealed access logs

STATED CAREFULLY

1
  • Identity: the claim is "verified once, presence attested each session." The identity provider is being finalized and is not claimed here.

ROADMAP — NOT CLAIMED TODAY

1
  • FERPA and COPPA: the pilot is consent-first and data-minimal. A formal compliance review is scoped with each institution before any minor is enrolled.

We'd rather state the posture plainly than let a badge imply more than the record can show.

ALSO FITS

Same record, not yet packaged:

  • Remote exam integrity
  • Thesis provenance
  • Continuing-education hours
  • Registered apprenticeships
  • Admissions portfolios

STRAIGHT ANSWERS

The hard questions, answered straight

Isn't this surveillance of kids?

It's the opposite: consent first, the screen never leaves the machine, and the guardian sees a topic digest, not a feed.

AI detectors already exist.

Detectors guess after the fact and are wrong enough to ruin people. This makes the record during the work.

What if a student games it?

Liveness binds the session to a person and the timeline makes ghost-writing visible. Gaming it is more work than the assignment.

FERPA/COPPA?

Consent-first and data-minimal by design. The formal compliance review is scoped with the institution before any minor is enrolled.

RUN A PILOT

One course. One classroom of families.
A record they can keep.

Desktop app plus camera, no SIS integration. Every sealed record stays with the people it's about. Scope and terms on a call.

No money moves. The sealed record is the deliverable.
