It runs on your servers. Your data stays yours.

What it does

One app, at an address on your own domain

You install ReadyHo on a server or cloud account your college already controls. It sits at an address like ready.yourcollege.edu. That is a placeholder, not a real college.

Everyone works in that one place. Teachers set the project and the scorecard. Students hand in work. An outside professional sees only the work they were asked to check.

You hold the keys. There is no ReadyHo admin account, and nobody here can sign in to your system.

The data boundary

What stays with you, and what goes out

The line is fixed. It is the same for every college and it is not something you configure.

Stays on your infrastructure

Submitted work and drafts
Drafted evaluations and their reasoning
Faculty comments and marks
Internal deliberation and revisions
Every student who did not consent

Goes to the registry

Only a completed, approved record, and only for a consenting student

The rubric and the scores
The practitioner’s name and credentials
The institution’s attestation

A first draft score your teacher overruled stays with you. The student never sees it. Students who publish nothing still get marked and still get feedback.

Your system reaches out to two places and no others. The AI provider you chose, on your own account. And the public record page, only when a student publishes.

Requirements

What you need to run it

Three things on the technical side.

A server

A modest server or cloud instance. Enough for your first few hundred students.
Half a day of IT time

One IT staff member, about half a day.
An AI account

An account with an AI provider, billed straight to you. Or your own hardware, if you would rather run the models in house.

The rest is people. Teachers willing to set projects. Professionals willing to check work. And a decision on student consent, taken with whoever handles data protection at your college.

Why it is built this way

Why it is free, and why it runs on your kit

Because it holds exam material. Your system holds work in progress, draft marks nobody was meant to see, and comments a teacher later changed. Hand that to a vendor and you are renting access to your own records.

Because consent has to be real. India's data protection rules expect consent to be specific, informed, and something a student can take back. That is far simpler when the data never leaves you.

Because you should be able to keep it. The software is free to use under a licence called AGPL v3. Install it, change it, run it, with no fee. If this project stops tomorrow, your setup keeps running. You can fork it or hire anyone you like to support it.

One exception. The public record pages are run by us, in one place. They cannot be copied to each college, because checking a record only works if every record sits somewhere a reader can trust. That is a real dependency, and we would rather you heard it from us.

Boundaries

What this does not do

It does not replace your other systems. ReadyHo is one app doing the assessment loop. No timetabling, no attendance, no course delivery, and no link into your student records system. It does not replace Moodle.
It does not remove the AI provider. Unless you run models on your own hardware, student work goes to the provider you chose, under their terms.
It does not give you your own copy of the public record pages. You can publish nothing at all, but there is no second registry to run.

Get started

ReadyHo is free and open source, and you keep everything it produces. Start with one course, or run it across your departments.

The rest of what runs at your college

Set the work Your teacher writes the project and a simple scorecard once, then reuses both every year.
Collect the work Send a project to one student, a group, or a whole year. The actual work comes back in one place.
First draft scores Every submission comes back scored against your scorecard, with comments. No student ever sees this part.
Your teacher decides Your teacher sees the work and the draft side by side, changes anything they disagree with, and sets the mark.
An industry signature A working professional checks the same work and puts their name and credentials to it.
The proof The work, the scorecard, all three opinions, and who gave each one. One page an employer can open.
Student control Nothing is published unless the student says so, and they can change their mind at any time.
Cost control You hold the account, pick what it uses, and set a spending limit. Nothing is billed through us.
