App Concept
GraceGrade: Auto Late Policy
GraceGrade is a grading assistant that integrates with LMS gradebooks to automatically enforce late work and grace period policies.

Key Features
- Configurable grace periods per assignment
- Automatic late penalty calculation (percentage or fixed deduction)
- Syncs with Canvas, Google Classroom, PowerSchool
- Manual override for exceptions
- Real-time notifications to students and teachers about late penalties applied
Target Users: K-12 and higher education teachers using LMS platforms who need automated handling of late work policies.
Revenue Model: Freemium with premium per-teacher monthly subscription ($5/mo) or school-wide license ($500/yr per school).
