WhatA proctored, in-browser coding and math assessment platform that universities use for high-stakes CS exams, with AI-detection built into the environment rather than bolted on after the fact.
SignalCS programs are seeing unprecedented failure rates because take-home exams and traditional assessment formats are trivially defeated by AI tools, and professors are struggling to catch cheating at scale.
Why NowThe sudden spike in F grades at top CS programs (35% in Berkeley CS10, up from under 10% a year prior) signals that universities are hitting a crisis point and will urgently spend on solutions before enrollment drops.
MarketUniversity CS departments and engineering schools globally; ~5,000 CS programs in the US alone, each spending on assessment infrastructure. Competes with Proctorio/ExamSoft but none are purpose-built for code-based AI-proof assessment.
MoatDeep integration with university LMS systems and a growing library of AI-resistant question formats creates high switching costs once departments adopt.

Adaptive Math Remediation for Incoming CS StudentsP6/10A structured, AI-free math fluency platform specifically designed to bring incoming CS majors up to the prerequisite math level that universities now report students lack.
Cognitive Fitness Tracker for Knowledge WorkersC5/10A personal tool that measures and tracks deep thinking ability over time — time spent in unassisted focus, quality of independent problem-solving, and brainstorming output — alerting professionals when their cognitive skills are atrophying from over-reliance on AI.
AI-Free Practice Environment for CS StudentsC5/10A deliberately AI-blocked coding practice environment where CS students solve problems with no autocomplete, no LLM access, and no copy-paste from external sources — designed to build genuine programming fluency before exams.
Edge-Native Build and Dev Toolchain PlatformP5/10A unified developer toolchain that deeply integrates build tools, test runners, and dev servers with edge compute runtimes, letting developers build and deploy edge-first applications without configuration friction.
Sustainable Open Source Developer Tools MarketplaceC5/10A marketplace and subscription platform where developers pay directly for critical open-source dev tools, giving maintainers sustainable revenue without requiring VC funding or acquisition.
Vendor-Neutral JavaScript Toolchain DistributionC6/10A community-governed, foundation-backed JavaScript build and test toolchain that guarantees vendor neutrality through governance structure, not just promises — a Linux Foundation-style approach for JS dev tools.
