## Startup Overview

Delivered as an outcome-priced service, this platform ingests unstructured student coursework and autonomously maps the contents to specific ABET accreditation criteria. Engineering and architecture faculty typically spend weeks manually pulling CAD files, code repositories, and scanned exams from their learning management systems to isolate granular competencies for compliance audits. By operating as an autonomous artifact extraction pipeline, the software handles this collation in the background, eliminating the need for professors to double-grade assignments or populate departmental tracking spreadsheets.

The system parses domain-specific formats like handwritten thermodynamics exams, MATLAB scripts, and AutoCAD designs directly from existing digital environments. It natively identifies the specific questions or calculations answering distinct ABET learning outcomes, strips identifying student information, and automatically categorizes representative high, average, and low performance samples. This allows departments to compile continuous, multi-year outcome data without forcing instructors to alter their existing syllabi or instructional workflows.

Legacy assessment tools like Watermark and HelioCampus operate as rigid institutional databases requiring manual evidence uploads, while standard platforms like Gradescope evaluate overall academic performance but fail to isolate specific professional proficiencies. By replacing manual spreadsheet mapping entirely, this solution delivers an extraction pipeline engineered specifically for ABET compliance. Faculty maintain their academic freedom and native grading formats, while the service outputs the exact, multi-modal evidence matrix required by accreditation directors.

**Guarantee**: Codemagnet guarantees the accurate, verifiable extraction of ABET competency evidence from your supplied engineering files. If the service misclassifies an artifact or fails to map a legible assignment, we manually re-process the specific document and refund the usage credit for that extraction.
**Business Function**: ProvideService
**Objection Handlers**:
- It cannot interpret complex engineering formats: Codemagnet utilizes specialized vision-language models designed to read MATLAB syntax, AutoCAD diagrams, and handwritten thermodynamic equations.
- It violates FERPA and student privacy: The processing pipeline automatically redacts names, student IDs, and demographic metadata from all files immediately upon extraction.
- It forces us to standardize our exams: The service maps your uniquely structured syllabi and grading artifacts to the ABET framework in the background, fully preserving academic freedom.

## Startup Proof Points

_Illustrative — target and order-of-magnitude estimate figures, not an achieved track record (this Thing is concept-stage)._

**Pilot Goals**:
- One-semester pilot with a single mechanical engineering course section to prove the system can ingest 150 unstructured thermodynamics exams and correctly isolate the specific ABET performance artifacts without faculty intervention.
- Three-month retrospective audit with a school of architecture to process historical AutoCAD design submissions and validate that the autonomously generated high/average/low dossiers match the department's previously approved manual rubrics.
**Target Metrics**:
- target: 40 hours saved per semester on manual artifact collation by department chairs
- target: 100 percent elimination of redundant double-grading workflows for engineering faculty
- aim: 0 manual data entry steps required for unstructured raw code and CAD file ingestions
- target: 100 percent automated redaction of FERPA-sensitive student metadata prior to dossier generation
**Target Case Studies**:
- Public Research University Department Chair: Transforms the manual curation of high, average, and low performance artifacts across dozens of sections into instant, compliant dossiers generated directly from raw LMS exports.
- Private Engineering College Assessment Coordinator: Shifts the department from forcing faculty to standardize their exams to autonomously mapping diverse, native MATLAB and AutoCAD files directly to ABET proficiencies.
- Community College Technical Program Engineering Faculty: Replaces the redundant retroactive double-grading of handwritten thermodynamics exams with automated background extraction that maps specific equation components to required learning outcomes.
**Testimonial Targets**:
- Engineering Faculty Member: Relief that they no longer have to change how they design or grade their exams just to satisfy accreditation rubrics because the system seamlessly parses their native handwritten PDF scans.
- Department Chair: Confidence that continuous improvement data is accurate and compiled longitudinally throughout the academic year rather than rushed together manually in the weeks before an ABET audit.
- LMS Administrator: Satisfaction that the extraction engine accepts standard gradebook and assignment exports directly from Canvas or Blackboard without requiring brittle or custom API integrations.

## Startup Story Brand

**Hero**:
- **Need**: to be the academic scholar driving curriculum innovation, not a compliance data clerk
- **Want**: to substantiate program-level outcome attainment without the burden of manual artifact curation
- **Identity**: the engineering faculty member at an ABET-accredited university
**Plan**:
- Step: Submit artifacts · Detail: Upload your raw student portfolios, MATLAB scripts, or AutoCAD files directly to the secure portal.
- Step: Approve mapping · Detail: Review the autonomously generated matrix that correlates individual assignment components to specific ABET criteria.
- Step: Export dossier · Detail: Download the verified CSV compliance matrix and anonymized evidence for your department self-study.
**Guide**:
- **Empathy**: You shouldn't still be manually pulling midterms into SharePoint. Watermark wasn't built to parse unstructured technical files like handwritten thermodynamic equations.
**Problem**:
- **Villain**: double-grading fatigue
- **External**: Extracting student artifacts from Canvas to map specific MATLAB code or AutoCAD diagrams against ABET criteria takes hours of manual PDF redaction and spreadsheet entry
- **Internal**: You feel like your technical expertise is being evaporated into repetitive administrative busywork
- **Philosophical**: Why should high-level engineering research accept being sidelined by the manual sorting of student homework files when autonomous mapping is possible?
**Success**: Your program achieves 100% artifact traceability for every student, with all evidence mapped and anonymized in 48 hours without changing a single rubric.
**One Liner**: What if your engineering artifacts mapped themselves to accreditation rubrics? Codemagnet parses raw student work to generate your ABET compliance matrix, reclaiming weeks of faculty time.
**Positioning**:
- **So That**: map unstructured CAD and code artifacts to rubrics autonomously
- **Unlike**: Watermark and manual SharePoint folders
- **For Whom**: the engineering faculty member at an ABET-accredited university
- **Category**: Autonomous ABET compliance mapping
**Call To Action**:
- **Direct**: Run course extraction
- **Transitional**: View sample compliance matrix
**Failure Stakes**:
- Diverting 30+ hours from research into manual data entry
- Incomplete artifact traceability for the 2024-2025 cycle
- Forced standardization that violates academic freedom
**Transformation**:
- **To**: the academic who delivers effortless accreditation compliance
- **From**: the professor buried in manual LMS exports
**Controlling Idea**: Accreditation data should be an automated byproduct of existing engineering faculty workflows
