We're back! In fact we are soooo back with a special announcement about RM Compare | NOW, our new on-demand mobile Comparative Judgement experience.

RM Compare | NOW ...... available now! You are invited to try out the worlds first mobile, on-demand Adaptive Comparative Judgement experience. For those following closely this has been quite a journey and long term ambition. There is still more to learn and more to do, but reaching this release is a significant step.

For those familiar with Comparative Judgement things will look a little bit different. We have completed many hours of user testing and have invested in a new, cutting-edge, user interface (UI).

Our intention is to create a User Experience (UI) that feels great to use, is easily accessible and has low friction.

New case study!

How Swedish Teachers used RM Compare to support assessment calibration at scale. A ground breaking study from Sweden points to a way forward for one of assessments most intractable problems - how do we ensure everyone knows what good looks like?

Shared Standards: Making Quality Reusable - Shared Standards connects assessment evidence across RM Compare. Studio creates comparative ranks, Hub securely governs mark-derived and ACJ evidence, and Live applies approved rulers to new work. Together, they support consistent standardisation, moderation and on-demand comparison - helping organisations make professional judgement transparent, reusable and reliable.

Why EdTech's obsession with daily engagement is breaking learning - Most digital products in education, awarding, and professional development are hooked on the exact same commercial metric: Attention. Daily Active Users (DAU), session length, streaks, push notifications, and time-in-app sit at the absolute center of traditional EdTech strategy. What if that entire metric is fundamentally broken? What if the true measure of a product's success is that individual usage falls over time?
