Value Proposition
Eliminates rejection and rework delays by providing expert, human review that catches institution-specific quirks (e.g., some schools require alt-text for all figures, others don't; some demand specific margin measurements). Faster and more reliable than student self-assessment or fragmented university guidance.
Target Audience
Master's and PhD students in final stages of dissertation completion; institutions can also white-label this for their graduate programs.
Key Features
- Institution-specific requirement mapping (auditor reviews each school's actual ETD guidelines, not generic standards)
- Detailed compliance report with page-by-page annotations (e.g., 'Figure 3.2 missing alt-text per your institution's accessibility standard')
- Remediation guidance with before/after examples for common failures
- And more, with full implementation detail...

Dissertation students lack clear guidance on ETD and accessibility formatting requirementsPhD and Master's students struggle to understand and self-assess their ability to meet Electronic Thesis and Dissertation (ETD) formatting and accessibility standards required by their institutions. Current solutions fail because universities provide fragmented, unclear guidelines, and students have no reliable way to evaluate their own compliance before submission, leading to rejection, delays, and rework.
