Supporting higher education in evaluating real understanding
Orazio builds transparent, rigorous evaluation systems for a world where content generation is trivial and reasoning assessment is essential.
Our mission
Generative AI has transformed how students produce academic work, and reshaped the meaning of traditional assignments. Orazio helps institutions shift from evaluating written output to evaluating genuine understanding—while preserving academic rigor. We build evaluation systems that are transparent, interpretable, guided by professors, and that produce the structured evidence faculties need for Assurance of Learning.
Our principles
Orazio does not invent content or introduce external frameworks. It adapts to each institution’s academic structure and evaluates reasoning using standardized, research-backed rubric dimensions. Our goal is to strengthen faculty expertise by providing scalable systems that maintain academic integrity in an AI-mediated world.
Foundations & Collaboration
Orazio is developed in collaboration with faculty members and assessment experts in Europe and North America. This ensures the system fits real academic workflows and reflects the expectations of rigorous higher education. Our approach prioritizes: • Academic alignment – operating strictly within the professor's materials and objectives • Transparency – every evaluation is interpretable and auditable • Rigor – grounded in established research on oral assessment, Socratic questioning, and rubric-based evaluation For a deeper look at the research behind Orazio, explore our Academic Foundations. As our pilots progress, we will publish insights and findings emerging from real classroom use.
