Executive summary of the case study.

PowerMark was an education-AI workstream at Aircury, integrated with Smartgrade. I designed and oversaw OCR and NLP work for assisted assessment. Smartgrade’s current public page describes online marking and teacher review. I make no accuracy or time-saving claims.
AI-assisted assessment, with teachers in control
PowerMark was an education-AI workstream at Aircury, integrated with Smartgrade. The goal was to reduce repetitive work without making an automated decision an unquestioned grade.
Keep teachers in the review loop
The public page describes low-confidence answers flagged for review and teacher moderation or override. It also states privacy limits for data sent to AI models.
Connect OCR and language processing
At Aircury, I designed and oversaw the PowerMark OCR and NLP work for handwritten responses and tests, plus integration, data quality, and delivery. Smartgrade currently presents online marking; scanned-paper marking is listed as a later phase.
Keep product claims distinct
Powermark is Smartgrade’s product. PowerMark names the Aircury work described in this portfolio. I do not claim accuracy percentages or time savings.
