EvalSmart — Evaluation plans you can review
EvalSmart
AI assists · You verify · You decide

Turn messy program descriptions into evaluation plans you can review.

EvalSmart drafts evaluation questions, indicators, evidence gaps, and methods-ready planning artifacts — then uses repeated-run consensus to show what is stable, what varies, and what needs human review.

For higher education, K–12, and nonprofit program teams.

Same pieces. Clearer structure. Human judgment still decides.

Reorganizing messy evaluation information into a plan you can review.

EvalSmart does not replace evaluation judgment. It gives that judgment a clearer structure to work from.

01 / What you get

A planning artifact, not a wall of AI text.

From a few plain-language paragraphs about a program, EvalSmart drafts the components of a defensible evaluation — each one written to be checked, not trusted on sight.

Evaluation questions
The questions worth asking, tied to the program's stated aims and the decisions it faces.
Indicators
Quantitative measures and validated instruments, with the baselines and thresholds a plan would need.
Evidence gaps
What's missing — named explicitly, never quietly assumed or invented.
Methods-ready artifacts
An executive brief and a full technical plan, every item marked stated, inferred, or gap.
From description to memo

Plain paragraphs about your program go in. Every drafted item comes back labeled — so you can see at a glance what the program stated, what EvalSmart inferred, and what is still a gap.

Evaluation memo · illustrative Draft
Program description

8-week internal medicine clerkship across academic and community sites, assessed by shelf exam, OSCE, and faculty evaluations.

Evaluation question Stated

Do students reach comparable clinical-reasoning competence across sites?

Indicator Inferred

Shelf-exam and OSCE clinical-reasoning subscores, disaggregated by site.

Evidence gap Gap

No baseline for cross-site OSCE comparability; site case-mix undocumented.

Flagged for human review

Assumes equivalent assessment conditions across sites — verify before use.

03 / Why consensus matters

One AI draft can vary. Consensus shows what holds.

Single draft
one stochastic answer
Repeated runs
same program, run several times
Consensus plan
recurring themes become the backbone
Human review
one-offs go to review

One AI draft can vary from run to run. EvalSmart runs repeated planning passes over the same program. Themes that recur become the backbone of the plan; one-off suggestions are set aside for a person to review rather than presented as settled.

Stable backbone

Items that recur across runs — your high-confidence planning candidates.

Variant menu

Where runs differ, the alternatives are kept side by side for you to choose between.

Human gate

One-offs and readiness disagreements are flagged for review, never presented as settled.

AI assists. You verify. You decide.

04 / Examples

See what a program description looks like — and what EvalSmart makes of it.

Three illustrative, fictional programs — a global youth nonprofit, a medical-education clerkship, and an academic-library service. For each, see the program description a client brings in, then the question-led case study and a short sample of the plan. The full executive brief and technical plan are available on request. Consensus mode is the repeated-run, stability-tagged version you can defend.

Nonprofit · youth program

Youth Tech & Entrepreneurship Program

A global, mentor-led youth program that needs to show funders real impact — without a comparison group, and with honest data-governance limits.

Read the case study →
Medical education

General Surgery Clerkship

A multi-site clerkship asking whether it can defend competency, site equivalency, and rater reliability.

Read the case study →
Academic library

Research Consultation Service

A by-appointment research-help service heading into program review — can it show impact, not just usage?

Consensus

Consensus mode

EvalSmart does not rely on a single draft when decisions matter. Consensus mode runs the planning workflow multiple times, compares outputs, and flags which evaluation questions, measures, gaps, and recommendations are stable versus needing human review. The result is not an automatic verdict — it is a clearer review package for evaluators and program teams.

05 / Get started

See EvalSmart on your own program.

EvalSmart is in limited preview while we refine it — there's no charge during the preview. Tell us a little about your program and we'll prepare a sample evaluation plan for you to review.

Request a preview → Or check if your brief is ready — free →
Exploratory preview

A single-run draft for early scoping. No stability tags.

Consensus plan

Repeated-run and stability-tagged — the defensible artifact for accreditation, grant reporting, and CQI.

Human review

A person reviews and refines an existing plan or set of measures with you.

Every plan is delivered as an AI-drafted, review-ready draft — built for you to verify and finalize, not a finished evaluation.

What happens when you request a preview
  1. 1 Tell us about your program — what you want to learn, and a bit of context. No payment, no commitment.
  2. 2 Send your program — paste or upload a plain-language description (.txt, .doc, .docx, or .pdf). Please don't include identifiable student or patient data.
  3. 3 We run EvalSmart and email you two review-ready drafts — a comprehensive plan and an executive brief.

What you receive is a draft to verify and finalize — not a finished evaluation, accreditation decision, or analysis of protected data.

06 / Boundaries & contact

What EvalSmart is — and what it isn't.

EvalSmart helps with
Evaluation questions and indicators
Evidence gaps and qualitative protocols
Methods planning and readiness review
Plans for programs that vary across sites
EvalSmart does not replace
Evaluator judgment and client verification
IRB / legal review and accreditation decisions
Data governance
Analysis of protected datasets in preview mode

Please don't submit identifiable student, patient, client, or employee data. Previews are designed for program descriptions and evaluation planning, not analysis of protected records. Standards references for LCME, ACGME, and ESSA / state frameworks are contextual prompts to verify with your institution before any compliance use. How we handle your data →

For nonprofits

Community Impact Program

We reserve limited monthly capacity for U.S.-based 501(c)(3) nonprofits that need help turning program descriptions or reporting questions into a practical evaluation plan.
