What is the Coverage Checker?

The Coverage Checker is real-time record-quality coaching. As you write a support record, it scores the record against the Three I's, Intent, Implementation and Impact, and shows coaching notes at the point of entry. A red, amber, green signal tells you where it stands: green meets the standard, amber needs improvement, red is still blank. It coaches the quality of your record, so audit-grade evidence is a by-product of everyday work. It scores support records; it does not generate an Ofsted report, and its reasoning is AI-generated, shown with an in-app disclaimer.

How does the Coverage Checker score a record?

It scores each record against Intent, Implementation and Impact in real time, and recomputes when you save. Green means the record meets the standard, amber means it needs improvement, and red means it is still blank. It coaches the quality of what you write, rather than ticking a box.

How do I know our learning-support evidence is good enough for an audit?

Because every record is coached to the same Three I's standard at the point of entry, and the golden thread traces each record back to the assessed need, your learning-support evidence is audit-grade and consistent across every member of staff. An auditor can read it end to end. It is a by-product of everyday practice, not something reconstructed before an audit.

Does the Coverage Checker make us Ofsted-compliant or produce an Ofsted report?

No. It helps you evidence good inclusive practice; it does not make you compliant and it does not generate an Ofsted report. The Three I's are a valid, sensible way to evidence practice, from older Ofsted guidance, not a current-framework requirement, and no regulator requires or approves Cognassist. Compliance stays yours; the Coverage Checker helps you evidence it well.

We already record support in our MIS or e-portfolio. What does the Coverage Checker add?

Your management information system (MIS) or e-portfolio stores the records you write. The Coverage Checker is the learning-support evidence software that coaches the quality of each record as you write it and makes the evidence audit-grade, the record-quality layer a system of record does not give you. It sits inside your workflow rather than beside it.

Do I need to be a specialist to write a good record?

No. The platform does the heavy lifting: the selected reasonable adjustment carries its Intent from the assessment, so you record what you did and the impact, and the Coverage Checker coaches you as you write. Your skill builds with every record.

Is the AI making decisions for us?

No. The Coverage Checker's reasoning is AI-generated and shown with an in-app disclaimer. It is a guide for your judgement, not a clinical or legal determination. The record and the support are a human judgement.

The Coverage Checker

Real-time coaching that makes your evidence audit-grade

It scores each support record against the Three I's, Intent, Implementation and Impact, as you write, coaching the quality at the point of entry, so audit-grade evidence becomes a by-product of everyday work.

Book a demo See how it scores a record

You can see support being logged. But is the evidence any good?

Support gets recorded, but records are often thin and vary from one tutor to the next, and you usually only find out a record is weak when an auditor asks. The Coverage Checker sits beside every record and scores its quality as it is written, so you can see the evidence is good rather than hope it holds up.

How it works: it coaches every record to the standard, as you write it

The Coverage Checker scores each support record against the Three I's, Intent, Implementation and Impact, and shows feedback and coaching notes at the point of entry. A simple red, amber, green (RAG) signal tells you where the record stands, and it recomputes the moment you save.

Green means the record meets the standard; amber means it needs improvement; red means it is still blank.
It coaches the quality of what you write, so the record gets better, not just longer.

The exciting part: your staff get better at evidencing with every record

Real-time feedback makes non-specialists better at both evidencing and delivering support. As they write, the Coverage Checker shows staff what a good record looks like, so their skill builds with every record, inside everyday work rather than in a separate training session. The platform does the heavy lifting too: the selected reasonable adjustment carries its Intent from the assessment, so a tutor records what they did and the impact, and the 'why' comes with the selection.

Confidence your evidence is audit-grade, consistently, across every member of staff

Because every record is coached to the same Three I's standard at the point of entry, and the golden thread traces each record back through the reasonable adjustment to the assessed need, your evidence is audit-grade and consistent across every member of staff. An auditor can read it end to end. It is not a lottery of who wrote the record, and not reconstructed in a scramble before an audit. This is confidence you can stand behind without reading every record yourself.

Discussing Reasonable Adjustments through the Support Record is really beneficial as it helps explore how the adjustments are being applied in the workplace as well as in college. The AI checker is a helpful guide to ensure you're heading in the right direction.

What an auditor actually reads: the golden thread, end to end

Open any learner's record and the evidence reads as one connected trail. It begins with the need the assessment surfaced, links to the reasonable adjustment agreed to meet that need, and ends with the support record itself, showing what was delivered and the impact it had, coached to the Three I's as it was written. That is the golden thread: assessed need, to agreed adjustment, to evidenced support. An auditor does not have to take your word that the evidence is sound, because they can follow the thread step by step and see for themselves why the support was given, what was done, and what changed.

Where the Coverage Checker fits

The Coverage Checker lives inside the do and review stage of the assess, plan, do, review (APDR) cycle, where agreed reasonable adjustments are delivered in everyday teaching and recorded. It is one capability within that stage, not the whole of it.
