A self-evaluation report for five degree programmes drags on for months before the first page is written.

For the self-evaluation report, module handbooks, examination statistics and graduate numbers are gathered from campus management, document management and the evaluation system. Every figure needs a source, and every source has a different cut-off date. By the time everything is in one place, the first extracts are already out of date.

5programmes in the clusterThe re-accreditation covers five bachelor's programmes at once.
68module descriptionsEach is checked against the current version in campus management.
12indicators per programmeExamination statistics, graduate numbers and teaching evaluations supply twelve values.
31follow-up requestsAfter the first review, 31 pieces of evidence are missing or have the wrong cut-off date.

The quality officer starts the self-evaluation report with an extract that gives the source and cut-off date for each of the 60 indicators; preparation takes her 60% less time.

The 60% reduction in preparation time is this agent's headline figure. For this example, the cluster is assumed to have 68 module descriptions and 31 outstanding pieces of evidence; at another university both figures would differ.

Three steps through the process.

The agent gathers the evidence for the self-evaluation report; quality management assesses whether it meets a criterion.

Gather module handbooks and performance data

The agent pulls module descriptions, examination statistics and evaluation extracts from the connected systems. For every extract it records the source and the cut-off date.

Assign indicators to the report sections

The agent attaches each of the twelve indicators per programme to the section that requires it. Where a source has a different cut-off date, it writes both dates side by side.

60 indicators assigned, 8 flagged with a differing cut-off date

Compile the evidence folder for the site visit

For every section, the agent files the evidence with source and reference and lists the open points first. Before approval, quality management assesses which evidence meets a criterion.

What the agent does not do.

It does not approve the self-evaluation report.

It submits the draft and the evidence list to quality management. University leadership signs off the report.

It does not measure teaching quality.

It sets requirement and evidence side by side and names every gap. The quality officer makes the assessment.

It cannot see commitments made in appointment negotiations.

It only counts a promised professorship once it appears in the staff records. Until then it reports the post as vacant in the resources chapter.

The questions that come up before the first meeting.

How quickly is the Accreditation Agent ready to use?

A pilot typically runs on your own data within 4 to 6 weeks. The agent connects to your existing systems rather than running as a separate, parallel environment.

Where is the data processed?

EU cloud or private cloud. Processing is GDPR-compliant and models are never trained on your data. Details in the Trust Center.

Where does the figure “60% less preparation time” come from?

It is based on experience from comparable projects and process benchmarks, not a commitment. We work out the realistic effect for your organisation during the assessment before the pilot.
