For Schools
Not more information. Less of it, and better.
COD exists to protect the scarcest resource in a school: human attention.
The problem
Schools rarely lack care. They lack visibility.
Most schools find out that a student was struggling after the fact. Not because nobody was paying attention, but because the signals were spread across a whole school day.
01
Change happens quietly
A student's learning, participation or wellbeing often shifts long before it appears in a report.
02
Attention is finite
One teacher, thirty students, six periods a day. Even attentive staff cannot watch everything.
03
Information arrives late
By the time a pattern is obvious, the moment where a small conversation would have helped has passed.
School perspective
From hundreds of students to the few who may need attention.
COD is not designed to give schools more information. It is designed to narrow the day down.

Today's shortlist
For the whole school team
One layer, three different jobs.
Teachers
See where attention may be needed in their own classes, without extra admin.
Counsellors
Understand context before a conversation, and follow change over time.
Leadership
See patterns across year groups and where support is concentrated.
COD Pilot
Start with one year group.
A COD Pilot is designed to be small, observable and easy for a school to evaluate on its own terms.
Step 1
Scope it small
Choose a single year group or a defined set of classes.
Step 2
Run it quietly
Students wear the COD badge through a normal school day.
Step 3
Review together
Look at what COD surfaced and whether it was useful.
