AI Governance
Governing AI in Teaching, Feedback and Marking
AI-generated lessons, feedback, and marking that could not reach students unchecked.
Illustrative engagement
The engagement
Where the decision had to hold under scrutiny
AI tools were used to help prepare lessons, generate student feedback, and support marking activity. While this accelerated the work, outputs were not always consistent and could not be accepted without review. The same defensibility discipline behind the fraud-rule work was applied to govern how AI-generated material was used before reaching students. This improved consistency and reduced the risk of poor or unfair educational outcomes.
Key challenges
The problem, and what was done about it
Challenge
AI was accelerating lesson prep, student feedback, and marking, but the outputs were inconsistent and could not be accepted and sent to students without review — an unfair or wrong result would land directly on a learner.
What was done
Applied the same defensibility discipline used for fraud rules: review and validation of AI-generated material before it was used, improving consistency and reducing the risk of poor or unfair educational outcomes.

How Verdica makes it defensible
The same five stages, applied to this decision
Every engagement runs the same path. For this one, the weight falls on Assure, Certify, Evidence — the stages where a decision of this kind is most often challenged.
Trace
Map every point where the decision could be challenged — before a line of logic is written.
Reason
Build the logic in the open: explainable, deterministic, same input, same output — no black box.
Assure
Validate coverage and oversight before anything ships; nothing unassessed is waved through as safe.
Certify
Lock an immutable, versioned record of exactly what was decided and on what basis.
Evidence
Hand over the audit trail — the pack that holds the moment someone says prove it.

A decision like this can be made defensible — on the record, not after the fact
A short discussion is usually enough to locate where the risk sits — in the logic, the controls, the evidence, or a combination — and where Verdica makes it hold.
