A typical school runs 6+ separate platforms — Math Academy, Khanmigo, Membean, NoRedInk, eGUMPP, IXL. Each is excellent in isolation. None talk to each other. Teachers tab-switch between dashboards.
A student can be crushing math and silently failing reading — and the same teacher might not notice for weeks. No unified view, no real-time alerts, no cross-subject intervention triggers.
Alpha School in Austin gets 2x learning gains in 2 hours/day using exactly this orchestrated model. They built it custom for one school. Nobody else can run their playbook.
Public K-12 looks structurally identical to the model it ran sixty years ago. No mastery pacing. No per-student personalization. No real integration of the AI tools that already exist.
Families have voted with their feet — more than 1.2M U.S. students have left public K-12 since 2019 with no recovery. The schools they flee to are mostly textbooks on a screen. Nobody's building a real third option at scale.
