How It Works

The Course Factory

A production system for course catalogs. Built for speed, quality, and cost-control — without a small army.

What you get

  • Course inventory + complexity scoring (Light/Standard/Heavy)
  • 1–2 templates + standards rules (navigation, naming, module structure)
  • Wave-based delivery (25–50 courses at a time)
  • QA checklist + exception log
  • QA Evidence Pack for sign-off
  • Warranty window for defects within acceptance criteria

Best fit

  • 20+ courses
  • Hard deadline / launch window
  • Small internal team
  • Messy inputs, inconsistent standards, or SME bottlenecks

Not a fit

  • "Unlimited redesign" with no scope boundaries
  • Projects where SMEs can't review anything, ever
  • Heavy net-new media production (video) unless separately scoped
Process

Waves, not whiplash

We ship in waves so you see progress weekly, and so quality is verified instead of guessed.

01

Inventory + Complexity Scoring

We map the catalog and tag complexity so scope and pricing aren't vibes.

  • Inventory courses + assets
  • Identify integrations and risk areas
  • Define wave size + throughput
02

Lock Standards

Templates + rules keep quality consistent across dozens (or hundreds) of courses.

  • 1–2 templates
  • Naming + navigation rules
  • Definition of Done
03

Pilot + Canary

We prove the pipeline on a small set, then scale.

  • 3–5 course pilot
  • First canary wave
  • Tune automation + QA checks
04

Waves + QA Evidence

Each wave ships with verification, exceptions, and sign-off artifacts.

  • Wave delivery + review cadence
  • QA checklist + exception log
  • Evidence Pack + warranty
Acceptance

Definition of Done (examples)

This is how we keep scope clean and sign-off painless.

Core

  • 0 critical broken links in student-facing areas (or documented exceptions)
  • Templates + standards applied consistently
  • Publish states correct
  • Files organized (no obvious junk / duplicates)

Accessibility (baseline)

  • Heading structure is sane
  • Key images have alt text
  • Template elements pass contrast
  • Anything out of scope is documented

Evidence

  • QA checklist completed
  • Exception log delivered
  • QA Evidence Pack generated per wave
  • Sign-off captured
