SimonHow it works

Five steps from messy
to defensible.

Simon doesn't replace your exams team — he amplifies them. Here's exactly how the platform turns raw centre data into operational confidence, on a calm continuous loop.

01
Intelligence layer

Simon learns your centre.

Before he flags a single thing, Simon reads your centre's data — cohort lists, teaching groups, qualification mapping, access arrangements, and the operational rules unique to your centre. This is the foundation every later step reasons against.

  • Read-only access to SIMS, Arbor, Bromcom — or a CSV upload
  • Cohort memory: 250+ candidates, target & predicted grades, demographics, AAR
  • Centre rules: the operational expectations your team carries in their heads
02
Analysis

He audits every entry.

Simon cross-checks your entry export against your centre's cohort records, JCQ specifications, awarding-body codes, and your centre rules — line by line, candidate by candidate. He never writes back to your systems. He just sees what humans miss.

  • Validates against AQA, Pearson, OCR, WJEC & Cambridge specs
  • Flags missing entries, duplicates, withdrawn candidates, invalid codes
  • Detects centre-rule violations across cohort completeness and tolerances
03
Risk detection

He surfaces what matters.

Critical issues bubble to the top with a clear submission-confidence score. Each flag is governance-ready: severity-coded, traceable, and tied to the exact rule or specification it violates. No more spreadsheets, no more silent risk.

  • Submission confidence trend with audit-by-audit deltas
  • Critical / warning / advisory tiers with one-tap resolution paths
  • Centre rule violations rendered with Expected · Actual · Missing
04
Ask Simon reasoning

He answers the questions you'd ask a senior colleague.

Natural-language interrogation of your entire exam operation. Every answer is grounded in your centre's data, JCQ §refs, awarding-body requirements, centre rules and cohort history. No black-box guesses. No hallucinated confidence.

  • "Are all Year 11 students entered for English Language?"
  • "Any tier mismatches in Maths?"
  • "Why is candidate 472 flagged?"
05
Leadership assurance

He briefs the people who need to know.

Analyst briefings for the Exams Officer. Portfolio risk for the MAT. Audit evidence for governors. Simon turns invisible exam-ops work into reportable, defensible operational confidence.

  • Analyst briefing prioritises the next decision worth your attention
  • MAT command view: ranked centre risk, attention required, audit completion
  • Audit timeline — every change, every resolution, every decision logged
Operational oversight

Simon sees what manual checks miss.

Premium operational clarity for the team accountable for submission day. Not a surveillance system — an analyst. Simon understands the centre, audits the data, surfaces the hidden risks, and gives leadership the evidence to act with confidence.
