The reliable spine
The non-AI spine is the source-linked workflow: clean records, rules, calculations, integrations, exception queues, approvals and reporting for Cost per admission and channel margin.
Education & EdTech
Cost per admission and channel margin
The institute spends on many channels and rarely knows which spend brings paying admissions, not just leads. The same enquiry is double-counted across platforms so a channel looks better than it is; a wasteful channel keeps getting funded; for EdTech, a high cost-per-acquisition against a low free-to-paid conversion quietly burns cash. The owner is flying on platform numbers and gut, not on arithmetic over their own enrolment data.
Who has it
Coaching and test-prep institutes, tracking cost per admission across Google, Meta, hoardings, referrals and fairs, and EdTech and online-course platforms, tracking cost per acquisition against free-to-paid conversion, the core EdTech leak.
What we build
Ad spend tied to actual enrolments so cost per admission (or cost per paying learner) is visible by channel, with blended acquisition arithmetic over real spend, real enquiries and real paid conversions. For EdTech, the free-to-paid funnel and channel margin sit on the same view. Any decision to cut or shift spend goes to a person.
What is automated, where AI helps, who signs off
Automation for the routine. A person on every decision that matters.
Where AI helps
AI is limited to bounded reading, extraction, matching, clustering or drafting from the firm's own data for Cost per admission and channel margin; it never owns the number, the approval, the promise or the decision.
Who signs off
A named person signs off anything touching money, stock, a customer promise, a regulated filing, a payment, a price, a credit decision or a people decision.
What changes day to day
The wasteful channels get cut; the same budget brings more paying students; cost per admission becomes a number the owner runs marketing on, not a guess.
Illustrative outcome
More paying admissions for the same marketing budget as below-line channels are cut.
Illustrative; final numbers come from your own data.
