Trust
Built for trust.
Universities do not need confident AI layered over unclear data practices. Project Ardi is closed, and these are the principles Ardvarq carries into its institutional research: every use of student context has to earn trust from the institution, the advisor, and the student.
Three commitments
No active student product.
Project Ardi and student account access are closed. Ardvarq is not currently accepting student records, degree audits, planning conversations, or payments through a student product.
Student control is the starting point.
Any future institutional system should make data use visible, correctable, and purpose-limited. Student content should not be silently repurposed for model training or unrelated analytics.
No predictive risk scoring.
Ardvarq's position is to personalize the help a student requests, not to produce risk scores or dropout predictions about individual students. Support should expand a student's choice space, never silently narrow it.
