SBIR Partnership Intake

Partner with Archive Origin Education on verified skill evidence.

Archive Origin LLC is preparing an ED/IES SBIR Phase IA proposal for a prototype focused on verified student skill evidence portfolios, CTE workflows, and workforce-readiness communication.

What the Phase IA concept is about.

The proposed prototype is designed to help schools move beyond letter grades alone by preserving clearer, source-linked evidence of workplace-aligned skills.

Verified skill evidence portfolios

Evidence capture, upload, source-verification linkage, skill tagging, educator review, and structured skill evidence packets.

CTE and workforce readiness

The initial wedge is secondary CTE and pathway programs where students demonstrate applied skills through labs, simulations, projects, and performance tasks.

Human-reviewed AI assistance

The AI-assisted Verified Skill Evidence Builder helps educators organize approved evidence into review-ready outputs without assigning grades or replacing educator judgment.

Intake Focus

Who we want to hear from.

If you can help evaluate, advise, pilot, or commercialize verified skill evidence workflows, use the email button below and include your role, organization, and the kind of participation you are open to discussing.

School / CTE partners

Career centers, pathway administrators, district leaders, educators, and regional education organizations.

Evaluation / research support

Independent formative evaluation, education research, usability, feasibility, workflow burden, and concept-fit expertise.

Workforce / employer reviewers

Employers, workforce boards, apprenticeship partners, and career-readiness stakeholders who can assess usefulness of skill packets.

Commercialization advisors

Advisors who can support market fit, buyer discovery, implementation conditions, and post-award commercialization strategy.

What to include in your message.

A short, practical note is enough. The goal is to identify aligned partners quickly.

Your role

Tell us if you are a school partner, advisor, evaluator, workforce partner, employer reviewer, commercialization supporter, or other contributor.

Your fit

Share what you can speak to: CTE workflow, skill evidence, portfolio review, evaluation, privacy, workforce alignment, or commercialization.

Your possible participation

Note whether you are open to a conversation, advisor feedback, pilot exploration, evaluation support, or a letter/discussion of support.

Important boundaries.

Archive Origin Education is designed around human review, privacy-aware workflows, and clear product limits.

Educators remain responsible for judgment

The prototype is intended to organize and preserve approved evidence. It does not assign grades, determine mastery, or issue credentials.

Schools control student-record governance

Schools remain responsible for FERPA-related decisions, authorized access, consent, student-record policy, and implementation rules.
