# Duoproctoring

*/Startups/Duoproctoring*

## Startup Overview

This digital assessment platform validates test-taker identity and session integrity through continuous behavioral biometrics and device telemetry. Instead of relying on periodic webcam snapshots or post-exam manual reviews, the software establishes a baseline for each user's interaction patterns, including keystroke dynamics, navigation rhythms, and localized device signals. During an assessment, the system cross-verifies active session data against this baseline to detect unauthorized assistance or impersonation.

Certification bodies, universities, and enterprise credentialing programs face persistent friction in remote testing environments when balancing exam security with user privacy. Traditional proctoring solutions demand invasive room scans, require continuous webcam surveillance by human reviewers, and frequently flag false positives based on benign background noise. This creates privacy liabilities and degrades the testing experience while failing to block sophisticated digital circumvention tactics.

Unlike legacy human proctoring pools or existing tools like Proctorio and Honorlock, the architecture operates entirely without human reviewers. By shifting the verification vector from visual surveillance to continuous telemetry cross-validation, the platform flags structural deviations in test-taker behavior. This approach ensures strict privacy preservation by eliminating human eyes on webcam feeds, delivering continuous verification natively without relying on easily bypassed optical monitoring.

## Startup Offer

**Proof**:
- Targeting a 95% reduction in false-positive flags compared to legacy webcam-only proctoring
- Aiming to eliminate student privacy complaints by completely removing human reviewers from the loop
- Designed to establish reliable behavioral baselines within the first 60 seconds of a session
**Tiers**:
- Name: Volume Metered · Price: ~$2.00–$5.50 per session · Inclusions: Individual exam proctoring using behavioral biometrics and baseline device telemetry, generating automated integrity reports without human review.
- Name: Department License · Price: ~$12,000–$35,000/yr · Inclusions: Unlimited proctored sessions for up to 5,000 active students, designed for full LTI integration with standard Learning Management Systems.
**Guarantee**: If an anomaly report incorrectly flags legitimate student behavior due to a baseline telemetry error, the session cost is refunded and a clear forensic audit trail is provided for the institution's integrity board.
**Business Function**: ProvideService
**Objection Handlers**:
- Student privacy concerns: The platform relies on continuous biometric baselining and device telemetry with zero human review, meaning no video feeds are monitored by strangers.
- Interference with accessibility tools: The telemetry engine is designed to explicitly whitelist declared screen readers and accessibility software to prevent false flags.
- LMS integration friction: The service is intended to connect directly to standard LMS platforms (like Canvas and Blackboard) via LTI standards, requiring no custom engineering.

## Startup Buyer Chain

**Chain**: Duoproctoring → University Assessment Office → Student Test-Taker
**Gtm Motion**: Acquires initial departmental pilots by targeting university assessment directors looking to eliminate human review costs and student privacy complaints. Expands by converting single-department LTI usage into campus-wide LMS site licenses once the continuous behavioral verification proves reliable.
**Agent Channel**: Designed to publish its continuous-verification API in the OpenAI Custom Action registry and LangChain tool catalogs, enabling automated instructional agents to autonomously provision secure test environments without human reviewers.
**Primary Channel**: Intended for listing in the Canvas App Center and Blackboard Partner Network, discovered when LMS administrators and instructional designers search for privacy-first, LTI-compliant exam monitors.

## Startup Proof Points

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

**Pilot Goals**:
- A 30-day pilot across three undergraduate courses aiming to validate the 60-second baselining engine and generate zero student privacy complaints.
- A two-week mid-term exam cycle pilot alongside an accessibility office to prove that declared screen readers are successfully whitelisted without triggering anomaly reports.
**Target Metrics**:
- Target: 95 percent reduction in false-positive integrity flags compared to legacy webcam-only systems.
- Aim: Zero student privacy complaints submitted to administration regarding third-party surveillance.
- Target: 60-second behavioral baseline establishment per student exam session.
- Target: 100 percent successful bypass for declared accessibility software like screen readers.
**Target Case Studies**:
- Mid-sized state university Director of Academic Integrity shifting from human-proctored services to telemetry-only proctoring to eliminate student privacy complaints while maintaining strict cheat-detection rates.
- Large online certification board Head of Assessment implementing behavioral biometric baselining to replace invasive room-scans, aiming to cut false-positive academic reviews by a significant margin.
**Testimonial Targets**:
- University Chief Academic Officer expressing relief that they enforce academic rigor without subjecting students to invasive human surveillance.
- LMS Administrator highlighting the seamless LTI integration that connects directly to existing platforms without custom API engineering.
- Student Government Representative emphasizing trust in a system that evaluates device telemetry objectively rather than having strangers watch their bedrooms.

## Startup Top Risks

**Risks**:
- Severity: existential · Description: Behavioral biometric models trigger disproportionate false-positive cheating flags for neurodivergent or physically disabled students, prompting accessibility lawsuits and immediate university-wide bans. · Mitigation Status: in-progress
- Severity: high · Description: Major browser privacy updates block the background collection of continuous device telemetry required for biometric cross-verification. · Mitigation Status: unmitigated
- Severity: high · Description: Faculty senate committees reject purely automated proctoring decisions due to distrust of black-box algorithms lacking a human-in-the-loop review option. · Mitigation Status: in-progress
- Severity: moderate · Description: Legacy competitors like Proctorio introduce local-only processing modes that satisfy baseline institutional privacy compliance, neutralizing the core differentiator. · Mitigation Status: unmitigated
