School Reports QLD
A competent developer can build a working tokenized comment generator and workspace in about a week, but reproducing the vendor's curriculum tuning, privacy practices, and support polish would require more effort and ongoing curation.

No open-source build does this yet
Nothing published replaces this one, so a replacement starts from an empty file. Here is what it would have to cover.
What a replacement has to do
- Teacher selects student/subject and achievement level, enters short notes, system generates a curriculum-aligned comment draft using prompt templates; teacher edits and exports/comment consumes one token.
What it still won’t have
- Locally tuned, curriculum-specific prompt bank and any proprietary prompt improvements
- Priority support and any operational guarantees
- The vendor's claimed privacy review and operational practices (de-identified workspace by default)
What remains hard
- Brand trust
Built for Queensland teachers — not a generic chatbot

What we assumed
The verdict above measures whether you could build it. This one is only about money.
Runnable build prompt
Build a single-tenant web app (React frontend, Node/Express backend, Postgres DB) that lets a teacher register, purchase one-off token packs via Stripe, enter anonymised student notes, and generate curriculum-aligned report comments via OpenAI's API. In scope: auth, token accounting, payments, a prompt template system configurable per subject/year, generation endpoint with rate/usage tracking, editable rich-text comment editor, export (PDF/CSV), and basic admin pages for token packs. Out of scope: multi-school billing, formal school integrations (OneSchool), advanced analytics, and custom model training. Include error handling, input validation, unit tests for backend endpoints, and CI to deploy to a single small cloud instance (e.g., DigitalOcean or AWS t3.micro equivalent).

The base comes from the verdict. Everything under it is a check that either happened or did not, and each one is a fact frozen in this record rather than a judgement made at render time - so the same evidence always produces the same number.
