Course Builder · EdTech AI module
From an SOP or policy PDF to a draft course your instructional designers can edit.
Course Builder turns source documents such as SOPs, policies, manuals and slide decks into course outlines, lessons, job aids and quiz items that an instructional designer reviews and edits before anything is published.
A reference build, not software you license. It ships under your product's name.

Northstar Workforce Academy · Course Builder
DemoStep 1 of 3
Illustrative demo on a fictional institution. Not client work.
The problem
Training teams sit on a pile of policies and procedures that should be courses. Writing each one from scratch takes weeks, and generic AI drafts drift away from the source.
The worked example
Northstar Workforce Academy (fictional). A customer uploads a 40-page warehouse safety SOP.
Document parsing into structure, generation constrained to the source, and an approval workflow with versioning.
AI inside the workflow
Course Builder inside the product, not a chatbot beside it.
Switch between the product as it ships today and the same screen with the module working inside it. Ask a question, then approve what it prepares.
Northstar Learn · fictional product
Northstar Learn today: designers rebuild courses by hand every time an SOP changes.
The assistant runs Course Builder, branded as Northstar Author, the way it would ship under your product's name.
Illustrative demo on a fictional institution. Not client work.

The Sprint
$10,000, two weeks, fixed
One AI feature working inside your product: running in your staging environment on your catalog, documents or synthetic data, behind a feature flag, delivered as pull requests. You also get quality and safety evals, a cost estimate on two models, a data-flow sheet and a fixed-price quote for production.

Targeted Unlock, then Capability Waves
Quoted at the end of the Sprint
The first production capability, delivered by pull request into your repo with no standing production access. Then the next module, on the foundation the first one built.
Built for education data
Controls your customers' security reviews ask about.
Each control is a design fact about how the module is built and how we work, not a compliance claim.
- Runs on your catalog, documents or data through the APIs your product already exposes. No rebuild.
- Sprint work uses synthetic or de-identified data and ships as pull requests to your repo. No production student data.
- Every answer that matters shows its source; material actions go to a person for approval.
- Built around FERPA, COPPA, accessibility and institutional requirements.
- Built to ship under your product's name. Model and hosting are your choice.
We build around your FERPA, COPPA, accessibility, security and institutional requirements. Compliance depends on the complete product, contracts, policies and operating environment; Datics does not present software engineering alone as legal certification.
How we handle student dataWork this builds on
Projects we have delivered that use the same engine or the same engineering pattern.
