THE PROBLEM

You already know what's broken

😰

You suspect the work isn't theirs

A paper reads too well. The vocabulary shifts mid-paragraph. You can feel it, but you can't prove it. And accusing a student without proof damages trust you've spent a semester building.

⏱️

You don't have time for 1-on-1 checks

The best way to verify understanding has always been a conversation. But with 80, 150, or 300 students, there's no way to sit down with each one. So you grade the text and hope for the best.

🎯

Detection tools don't solve the problem

AI detectors give you a percentage, not proof. They flag non-native English speakers disproportionately. And every semester, they get less reliable as writing tools improve.

YOUR WORKFLOW

Create. Collect. Review. Done.

01

Create the assessment

Create an assessment, choose question types (written, coding, repo-based, or mixed), set your rubric dimensions, configure the defense parameters, and publish. Students receive an email notification with their submission link.

02

Students submit and defend

Students submit via link or portal: upload files, paste text, or push code. Then they complete the defense with a consent notice, adaptive questions about their specific submission, and real-time transcription they can verify.

03

Review and grade with confidence

An evidence report is generated automatically. You review the split-screen grading workspace, see AI suggestions with confidence scores, and make the final call. Grades export to CSV or PDF evidence reports.

YOUR GRADING WORKSPACE

Everything you need, one screen

No more switching between tabs, downloading files, and cross-referencing spreadsheets. Your grading workspace puts the submission, evidence, and scoring tools in one place.

Split-screen grading view

Student submission on the left, evidence panel on the right. See the work and the defense side by side so you can grade in context.

Per-rubric dimension scoring

Score each rubric dimension individually with band selection. No more collapsing complex understanding into a single number.

AI grading suggestions

Confidence scores and evidence citations for each dimension. The AI shows its reasoning so you can agree, adjust, or override.

Annotation tools

Highlight, comment, correct, or praise directly on submissions. Reply threads let you have asynchronous conversations about specific passages.

Integrity decision override

Mark each submission as Accepted, Needs Review, or Referred, with space for notes. Your professional judgment is always the final word.

Full defense transcript

Timestamped transcript of the entire defense session. See exactly what the student said, when they said it, and how they responded to follow-ups.

EXPORT & RECORDS

Evidence that outlasts the semester

PDF evidence reports

Generate a detailed evidence report for any individual student: rubric scores, transcript excerpts, annotations, and integrity decision. Ready for appeals, records, or parent conferences.

CSV grade export

Export grades for the full class in one click. Per-rubric dimension scores, overall grades, and integrity flags in a format that imports into any gradebook or LMS.

Durable accreditation records

Capability evidence events create permanent records linking student identity to submission to defense to evidence to grade. Built for accreditation review from day one.

ASSESSMENT TYPES YOU CAN CREATE

More than essays

Pruuva handles the full range of student work, from written assignments to code repositories. Each type gets purpose-built defense questions.

Written assignments

PDF, DOCX, text

Essays, research papers, case studies, and reflections. Questions are generated from what the student actually wrote.

Oral assessments

Audio, video, live

Students respond verbally to adaptive questions about their submission. Transcribed in real time with per-rubric comprehension scoring, like a structured viva at scale.

Presentations

Screen share, live session

Students share their screen and present their work or slide deck live, then answer targeted questions based on what they presented to demonstrate their understanding.

Coding exercises

Python, JavaScript, Java, C++, and more

Submit code with optional test cases. The defense explores design decisions, logic flow, edge case handling, and whether the student can explain their own implementation.

Git repository submissions

GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket

Analyze repository structure, commit history, and code quality. The defense can ask about specific commits, architectural choices, and contribution patterns.

Mixed assessments

Multiple question types

Combine written responses, code submissions, and file uploads in a single assessment. Each component gets its own defense questions.

WHY EDUCATORS CHOOSE PRUUVA

Evidence that changes how you grade

📋

Evidence you can stand behind

Per-rubric comprehension scores with quoted transcript evidence. When a student demonstrates understanding, you see exactly where. When they can't, you see that too.

15 minutes per student, fully automated

Pruuva conducts the configured text, audio, or video probe for you. Students complete it on their own time. You receive a structured report, not a recording you have to watch from start to finish.

⚖️

Fair for every student

Designed to evaluate demonstrated understanding instead of writing-style patterns. Students get a structured opportunity to explain the work they submitted.

🎓

Your judgment stays at the center

Pruuva surfaces evidence and flags concerns. You review, adjust, and decide. It augments your professional judgment. It never replaces it.

🔧

No course redesign required

Students submit their work as usual: PDF, DOCX, or pasted text. Pruuva generates questions from their submission. You add it to any existing assignment.

📊

Per-rubric, not pass/fail

Understanding scores mapped to each rubric dimension you care about. Not a single binary grade. Not a probability score. Structured evidence of comprehension depth.

WORKS EVERYWHERE

Any assignment. Any discipline.

Pruuva generates questions from each student's own submission, so it adapts to whatever they wrote, regardless of subject.

Research papers

Verify that students understand their own methodology, sources, and conclusions, not just that they can assemble a bibliography.

Case studies

Confirm they can apply frameworks to new scenarios, not just cite the ones from the textbook.

Lab reports

Check that they understand the science behind their results, not just the format of the writeup.

Creative projects

Explore the reasoning, influences, and choices behind creative work that's hard to evaluate on paper alone.

Group projects

Assess individual understanding when work is collaborative. Every team member gets their own assessment.

Thesis & capstone

Deep-dive into methodology and argumentation before committee review. Surface gaps early.

Reflective essays

Distinguish genuine reflection from performative writing. Assessments explore the thinking, not the prose.

Technical submissions

Verify students understand their own code, designs, or calculations, not just the output.

THE SHIFT

From suspicion to evidence

WITHOUT PRUUVA

  • You suspect a paper isn't original but can't prove it
  • AI detectors give conflicting results
  • You spend hours agonizing over whether to confront a student
  • Grading becomes an exercise in suspicion management
  • Strong students feel untrusted; struggling students feel targeted

WITH PRUUVA

  • Every student demonstrates understanding of their own work
  • You receive per-rubric evidence with quoted transcripts
  • Concerns are flagged with specific passages and responses
  • Grading becomes evidence-based, not a guessing game
  • Students see what evidence is collected before they begin

QUESTIONS FROM EDUCATORS

Things you're probably wondering

How long does it take to set up?

Less than five minutes. Upload your rubric or pick a template, attach it to your assignment, and set a deadline. Students see the assessment as part of their submission process.

Do I have to listen to recordings?

No. Pruuva gives you a structured report with per-rubric scores and quoted transcript evidence. You read the report. You don't have to watch or listen to anything.

What if a student has anxiety about oral assessments?

Pruuva is designed to feel like a conversation, not an interrogation. Students go at their own pace, can type instead of speak, and have extended time accommodations available. It's not a high-stakes live exam. It's a structured check-in.

Does this work for large classes?

That's exactly where it shines. A 300-student lecture course gets the same quality of individual verification that a 15-student seminar gets. Every student, same depth of evidence.

Can I customize what it assesses?

Yes. Your rubric drives the questions. If you care about methodology, the assessment goes deep on methodology. If you care about critical analysis, it focuses there. You shape the conversation through your rubric.

What disciplines does it work for?

Any discipline where students submit written work: STEM, humanities, social sciences, professional programs, and creative arts. The assessment is generated from each student's own submission, so it adapts to the content.

How is this different from just doing viva voce exams?

Pruuva automates the conversation so you don't have to be in the room. It runs for every student, on their schedule, and gives you a structured report instead of your memory of a 10-minute chat. Same pedagogical principle, completely different scale.
