Make a difference - Get Evidence Ready!

Make your EdTech product evidence-based by design

Evidence Ready is ICEI’s signature research service for EdTech startups and established companies who want to move beyond marketing claims and demonstrate meaningful, externally verified impact.

Designed and delivered by the International Centre for EdTech Impact (ICEI), Evidence Ready gives you a practical, research-driven roadmap to strengthen your product’s efficacy, engage your team with the latest evidence in your domain, and qualify for international certifications such as eduevidence.org’s Efficacy Bronze and the ESSA Level IV certification. By meeting these standards, your product can be included in the database of internationally recommended solutions and the US EdTech Index.

What is Evidence Ready?

Evidence Ready is a short structured research project that assesses the learning impact of your EdTech product or service. The project is led by one of ICEI’s academic researchers and a domain-specific expert. The expert is sourced from our network of 1,200 learning scientists, ensuring a direct match between your product’s focus and the scientific rigour of the evaluation.

The result? A research report that is both academically credible and practically useful, ready to guide product development, support grant or certification applications, and communicate your impact to educators, investors and policymakers.

What do you get?

Evidence Ready is a three-part evaluation, tailored to your product and aligned with global evidence standards:

Comprehensive Research Review

The researcher, together with the domain expert, review scientific literature relevant to your product and note areas of alignment or misalignment between your product’s features and the literature.

Logic Model
