Curriculum change, AI and the race for 'Guild Knowledge'
Across most established curricula, something important already exists but is rarely named.

Is RM Compare an Assessment Software Application or Infrastructure?
When people first encounter RM Compare, they usually see it as what our homepage says it is: the world‑leading Adaptive Comparative Judgement system.
