The value

Stronger evidence for Harvard, faculty and students.

The opportunity is to preserve rigorous written work while giving every stakeholder clearer evidence, more focused attention and more useful feedback.

FOR HARVARD

Protect confidence in outcomes

Connect rigorous submitted work to direct evidence of individual understanding.

FOR FACULTY

Focus attention where needed

Review structured evidence and priority concerns without conducting every conversation.

FOR STUDENTS

Receive feedback that develops learning

See what was demonstrated well and where deeper reasoning would strengthen future work.

HARVARD CONTEXTWhy stronger evidence matters now

85% use Gen AI at least biweekly

50%+ use it for writing assignments

Detection produces false positives and false negatives

The alignment

Harvard is moving beyond AI rules towards better assessment evidence.

Harvard College's 2026 Student Generative AI Summit prioritised assessment design over more course policies. Integrevise turns that direction into practical proof of understanding, helping faculty make clearer decisions while giving students feedback they can use.

Policy sets expectations. Verification makes learning visible.

The operational opportunity

Stronger evidence without another faculty workload problem.

01

Keep the existing design

Use the assignment brief, rubric, learning outcomes and submission already in place.

02

Add a short oral check

Run a consistent adaptive discussion grounded in the student's own work.

03

Focus academic review

Surface the strongest evidence and priority concerns for faculty consideration.

04
A practical fit

A small addition to the workflow. A stronger basis for judgement.

Integrevise works from the assessment already in place. There is no need to rebuild the course, replace the academic standard or automate the final decision.

01

No wholesale redesign

Start with the current brief, rubric, learning outcomes and submission.

02

Consistent at scale

Give every selected student a short oral grounded in the same academic standard.

03

Clearer faculty evidence

Create a structured record of what the student can explain and defend.

04

Focused attention

Surface priority concerns so faculty review only where judgement is needed.

VALUE FOR THE STUDENTPersonalised feedback helps students reflect, improve and prepare for future work.
05
04 / The offer

Start with one assessment. Build the evidence to expand.

01

Select a meaningful use case

Choose one assessment, course or cohort where clearer evidence would add immediate value.

02

Use the existing assessment

Work from the current brief, rubric, learning outcomes and student submission.

03

Measure institutional value

Evaluate evidence quality, faculty usability and student experience.

04

Expand with confidence

Use the results to decide where proof of understanding should support more assessments.

02 / The validation

Already evaluated in a university setting.

Integrevise's adaptive oral approach has been evaluated through a university pilot and published in Trends in Higher Education. Students reported 69% positive feedback and average confidence of 7.8 out of 10, while faculty-led academic judgement remained central.
