About M.E.R.I.T

Modular Education & Reputation Intelligence Tool

Our Purpose

M.E.R.I.T is redefining how the world understands student achievement. We turn grades and records into a clear, portable, and trustworthy story of learning—from the first day of school to a first job and beyond. Students own their data. Families, educators, and employers get the clarity they need—without extra paperwork or guesswork.

Our Mission

Put students in control of their credentials and make academic records meaningful for parents, teachers, administrators, and employers—everywhere.

What We’re Changing

For Parents

  • See a complete, real-time picture of progress—not just end-of-term report cards.
  • Follow growth across schools, districts, and programs without re-enrolling data.
  • Know records are secure and only shared when you (or your student) say so.

For Teachers

  • One source of truth for assignments, assessments, projects, and certifications.
  • Less paperwork, more instruction—records update automatically from classroom tools.
  • Evidence that travels with the student for faster, fairer placement and support.

For Administrators

  • Consistent, audit-ready records with permissioned access.
  • Fewer transcript requests and manual verifications.
  • Program insights tied to outcomes like graduation, credentials, and jobs.

For Students

  • Ownership: your records live with you—beyond graduation.
  • Portability: share a verified link or QR with colleges and employers.
  • Privacy: decide what to share, with whom, and for how long.
  • Opportunity: showcase real accomplishments, not assumptions.

From Classroom to Career

As students earn grades, skills badges, certificates, and diplomas, M.E.R.I.T builds a verified profile that grows over time. Graduates can instantly share proof of coursework, internships, industry certs, service hours, and achievements—directly with admissions teams and recruiters.

How M.E.R.I.T Works

  1. Verify: Schools issue records and credentials through M.E.R.I.T.
  2. Protect: Records are secured and tamper-evident.
  3. Control: Students (or parents/guardians) manage sharing from a simple dashboard.

Why It’s Different

  • Student-owned data with fine-grained, revocable permissions.
  • Interoperable with existing SIS/LMS tools—no heavy rip-and-replace.
  • Tamper-evident verification that reduces fraud and speeds decisions.
  • Global readiness for High Schools, Universities, Workforce Programs, and Employers.
