Where enrollments leak
Four places a school
loses students — quietly.
Competitors run ads with claims you're not legally allowed to make — and they're winning enrollments.
Every piece waits in compliance review. Content sits in approval limbo for weeks.
Students ask ChatGPT which school to pick before they ever call one. The answer is assembled from your reviews, your state filings, and your competitors' sites — whether you've read it or not.
What the machines say
We audited a local trade school's AI answers.
Here's what came back.
These answers are assembled from a school's website, its state filings, and its reviews. They get written whether the school participates or not. Most schools have never read theirs.
We can't change your filings. We make sure the machines reading them also read your side — verified facts, published where the models look, checked against the same compliance rules as everything else we write.

Compliant by construction
Compliance isn't a review step.
It's how we build.
Education marketing carries real regulatory weight — FTC truth-in-advertising rules, state licensing requirements, no placement guarantees, no income promises. Your team is grounded in your official catalog and compliance requirements before a single word is written. Every claim traces back to a verified source. Nothing is generated, then checked. It's compliant from the first draft.

Catalog-grounded content
Every program name, duration, and certification claim comes directly from your official school catalog — never improvised.
No outcome promises
Your team never generates outcome statistics, earnings figures, or guaranteed results — by design, not by manual review.
Built for regulated review
Content arrives pre-flagged for compliance sign-off where required — your team knows which topics need human approval before publishing.
Vera
Compliance Review
Every review runs against four layers of rules — FTC advertising standards, vocational-education requirements, your state's regulations (like California's BPPE rules for career colleges), and your school's own rulebook. Each one ends with a timestamped certificate bound to that exact version of the text: edit a single word, and it's flagged for fresh review.
Flagged passages arrive with the exact sentence, the rule it touches, and a suggested rewrite. You approve — always. The review informs your decision; it never replaces it.
