2 open-source projects that already do this job. Free to use - not free to run, which is what the numbers on the right are for.

What you give up either way
- SOC 2 attestation and documented HIPAA compliance (formal certifications)
- Kibu's pre-built lesson/content library and tailored lesson plans
- Enterprise onboarding, support, and polished usability for non-technical staff
- Uptime/SLA guarantees and managed hosting/ops
An open-source project doing the core job proves a replacement is possible. It does not prove it matches Kibu, and it does not prove anyone has run it for a month. How we decide.
