The three shapes
Smallest
Audit and Roadmap
The SFU AI-readiness and AEO audit across the four faculty lines, plus a sequenced plan to act on it. Lowest commitment, fastest to deliver.
For: a fast, clear read on where SFU stands and what to do first.
Recommended
Pilot One Module
Build the working AI study companion on one real Psychotherapy module and stand up the outcome harness, in weeks. This is the speed-to-evidence proof, on SFU's own content.
For: a real result on real students before a big decision.
Fullest
Phased Partnership
Companion rollout across faculties, AI visibility live, and the path toward a reusable group platform across future Skilled Education institutions.
For: when the ambition is the group, not one university.
Why pilot-first
It de-risks for both sides
A pilot puts a working companion on real SFU content, with a real outcome number, before anyone signs a large procurement decision. SFU sees the result; we earn the bigger scope by proving it, not pitching it.
And it beats every incumbent on the calendar. While a platform vendor is still scoping, SFU already has something its students are using.
What we need from SFU
Three things, and we can start
- Access to one module's materials, the content the companion grounds itself in.
- A faculty point of contact who can answer questions and see the pilot through.
- A success metric to beat, for example the IU 27% study-time benchmark Oakley already trusts.
