Save staff time, eliminate standardisation meetings, and get nationally standardised feedback built on a safety-first AI platform.

Between 2025 – 2026 we assessed globally

Massive Time Savings

Teachers spend only 7 to 14 minutes in total per assessment. Decisions take just 27 to 34 seconds each.

High Precision

Our AI achieves 82% to 83% agreement with human decision making. It delivers the same level of precision as human judges but with huge benefits in efficiency.

Full Range

Unlike rubric-based marking (human or AI), scores span the full range without ceiling or floor effects.

Why Choose No More Marking?

Ditch Standardisation Meetings

  • Our equating method places different schools taking the same assessment on a single scale.
  • This removes the need for traditional standardisation meetings.
  • It also reduces between-school differences in the interpretation of marking criteria.

A Safety-First AI Approach

  • We use a default ratio of 10% human to 90% AI decisions to highlight where the AI deviates from human values.
  • Every essay undergoes multiple comparisons, including up to 18 AI and 2 human, which reduces bias.
  • We apply safety restrictions to ensure mis-transcribed or provocative responses are not reproduced in feedback to pupils.

Psychometric Rigor You Can Trust

  • Our statistical model has been validated by thousands of peer-reviewed studies.
  • Our Comparative Judgement approach ensures scores are spread against the whole scale, avoiding the bunching towards the middle that occurs with rubrics.
