Request a pilot
Run it on one department and see what it records
A pilot is deliberately small: one department, a group of students you pick, six to eight weeks. It costs nothing for that period, and by the end you have a dashboard built from your own students rather than a slide deck about ours.
What a pilot is
- Scope
- One department, and a fixed group of students agreed up front.
- Length
- Six to eight weeks, long enough for a term's worth of labs to leave a record.
- Cost
- None for the pilot period. No purchase order needed to start.
- What you install
- Sudo Code on student machines. Nothing on your servers, and no hardware.
- Accounts
- Invitation only, by email. No shared logins, no default passwords.
- What you get back
- A working department dashboard and the real record for those students.
How it runs
- 1
Intro call and requirements
Half an hour. Which courses take part, roughly how many students, which operating systems they work on, and who will be the department head on the account.

We create your institution and invite the department head
We set up the institution and email an invite to your HOD. They pick a password and they are in. Nobody else can create accounts on your institution.
day 1
- 3
The HOD invites professors; professors add students to courses
The HOD invites faculty by email and creates the courses. Each professor adds their students by email address, which enrols them into that course directly.
week 1
- 4
Students install Sudo Code and sign in
Sudo Code is a desktop IDE built on VSCodium, for Windows, macOS and Linux. Students sign in with the account from their invite, and the first lab produces telemetry the same day.

Review the record together and decide on rollout
After four weeks we go through the dashboard with you: who is using it, what the metrics say, which students got flagged and whether the flags were right. Then you decide whether to widen it.
week 4 onwards
