Key Features
- Dynamic weight rescaling based on actual assignments
- What-if scenario planner for adjusting weights
- Student-grade impact preview before publishing changes
- Auto-flag categories with too few assignments
Target Users: Middle and high school teachers in any subject, especially those with project-based or lab-heavy grading schemes.
Revenue Model: $4.99/mo per teacher or $49/school site license annually
