Overview

Items that measure what you meant to measure.

An item bank is only as good as its weakest reviewer. We run assessment development as an editorial process: a blueprint that fixes coverage and difficulty distribution before writing starts, SME authors working to a written style guide, and independent review for alignment, bias, accessibility and answer-key correctness.

We author across question types — multiple choice and multi-select, constructed response, technology-enhanced and performance tasks — and deliver into QTI, your assessment platform, or a structured export your engineers can ingest.

What we do

  • Assessment blueprints

    Coverage, cognitive-level and difficulty distribution agreed and documented before any item is written.

  • Item authoring

    Multiple choice, multi-select, constructed response, technology-enhanced and performance items with full rationales.

  • Item bank build & tagging

    Standards, difficulty, cognitive level and metadata applied consistently across the bank.

  • Rubrics & scoring guides

    Analytic and holistic rubrics with anchor responses, written so two scorers agree.

  • Bias, fairness & accessibility review

    Independent review for cultural and linguistic bias and for items that disadvantage assistive-technology users.

  • Editorial & copy-editing

    Style-guide enforcement, fact checking and copy-editing across instructional and assessment content.

Process

  1. Step 01: Blueprint

    Standards, coverage, item counts and difficulty targets, signed off in writing.

  2. Step 02: Author

    SME authors write to the style guide in tracked batches, with a calibration batch reviewed first.

  3. Step 03: Review

    Independent alignment, bias, accessibility and answer-key review; anything contested goes to a third reviewer.

  4. Step 04: Deliver

    QTI or platform delivery with metadata intact, plus a post-delivery correction window.
