EducationGrading & Assessment2MildTeacher$ implied
Teachers lack an efficient way to manage and communicate grading policy exceptions like grace periods, leading to manual tracking and inconsistent application.
Existing grading software (e.g., Canvas, PowerSchool) does not easily support dynamic, scenario-based policy rules like grace periods with automatic grade adjustments.

App Concept
GraceGrade
GraceGrade is a lightweight add-on for LMS platforms that lets teachers define custom grading policies (grace periods, late work rules, exemptions) and automatically applies them to assignments. Teachers no longer need to manually override scores for policy exceptions.
Key Features
- Define conditional rules: e.g., 'If submitted within 1 day late, cap grade at 70%' or 'Grace period: 2 days, then full credit'
- Auto-apply rules to all matching submissions in bulk
- Realtime preview dashboard showing how policies affect each student's grade
- Seamless integration with Canvas, Google Classroom, Schoology
Target Users: K-12 and college teachers who grade assignments digitally and need to manage flexible grading policies without manual overrides.
Revenue Model: $4.99/month per teacher, with a school/district license at $2.99/teacher/month
