For education companies

The product team behind your education platform

Publishers, training providers, tutoring groups and edtech startups hire Cognitima to build the parts of learning software that are tedious to get right — timed assessment, scoring, diagnostics, content pipelines, entitlements, reporting and mobile releases. We know they are tedious because we build, ship and then keep running them.

  • We build for measurable improvement in a real skill, not for time on screen
  • No gimmicks: streaks, badges and engagement theatre are not deliverables
  • Small, senior team — you talk to the people writing the code
Capabilities

What we build

The recurring pieces of a serious education product, each already running in production on a project we have delivered.

Timed assessment delivery

Exam-accurate timing, section logic, one-attempt rules, resume behavior and the edge cases that only show up once real candidates are sitting the test.

Scoring and diagnostics

Multi-dimensional scoring, weighted rubrics, skill profiles and feedback a learner can act on. This is the part most platforms skip, and the part that decides whether yours produces results or just sessions.

Content and item pipelines

Generated or authored material, versioning, difficulty calibration and the tooling to keep a question bank current instead of frozen at launch.

Billing, plans and entitlements

Free tiers, subscriptions, one-off purchases, institutional seats and the entitlement logic that decides who can see what.

Android apps and releases

Native Android development plus the unglamorous part: store listings, data-safety declarations, in-app purchases and release management.

Reporting and admin tooling

Dashboards for teachers, administrators and your own support team, so questions get answered without an engineer running a query.

Engagements

Four ways to work together

Build a new product

From a specification — or from a rough idea that needs one — to a launched, paid product. Every project in our portfolio started this way.

Extend a platform you already run

Add assessment, scoring, reporting or mobile to an existing product without disrupting what already works.

Operate and maintain

Keep a live platform current, supported and shipping: content updates as exams change, store releases, monitoring and the support queue behind it.

Take over a stalled platform

Inherit and stabilize a product whose original team has moved on, then keep shipping.

Proof

The work speaks first

All live, all built by us for customers. Try them before you brief us.

SightReadingTraining

Music education

A browser-based trainer that generates music a pianist has never seen, keeps the metronome moving, and reports exactly which skill slowed the performance down.

Overachiever

Study skills and productivity

An Android app built on behavioral research — Pomodoro, implementation intentions, affective labeling and cognitive reframing — for students and professionals who keep postponing what matters.

Prepatest

Admissions and exam preparation

A test-preparation platform with full-length, timed sample tests, detailed answer explanations and unlimited retakes — used by families directly and licensed to schools and institutions.

Principles

How we work

  • We build for measurable improvement in a real skill, not for time on screen
  • No gimmicks: streaks, badges and engagement theatre are not deliverables
  • Small, senior team — you talk to the people writing the code
  • We maintain paid products in production, so we plan for retention and support load, not just launch day
  • We say no to work we do not think will succeed, and explain why
  • Everything we ship is something we would be willing to operate ourselves
