Frequently Asked Questions

Avoid exam periods, first weeks of new terms, and major testing windows. Best: End of semester (Apr-May, Nov-Dec) for planning discussions. Within 24-48 hours of pilot inquiry
Expect 3-6 months for individual schools, 6-12 months for districts/universities. Budget cycles are annual (Jul-Jun for K-12, varies for higher ed). Pilots showing learning gains accelerate deals.
Reference existing clients in similar contexts (same enrollment size, student demographics, challenges). Lead with outcome data and case studies. Offer valuable content (research reports, benchmark data) rather than just asking for meetings.
FERPA (student data privacy), COPPA (under-13 users), state privacy laws, and accessibility requirements (Section 508, WCAG). Always address data privacy upfront - it's often a deal-breaker if not compliant.
