Reusable AI capability

Evaluate Educational AI Procurement and Student Data Risk

Evaluate an educational AI acquisition against learning need, vendor evidence, accessibility, student-data controls, security, equity, total cost, lock-in, and accountable approval requirements.

This Skill is a reusable set of instructions based on the linked Amo.ng Prompt or Workflow. It tells you what to provide, how to apply the method and how to know when the task is complete. It does not run automatically.

Purpose

Give academic, procurement, privacy, security, accessibility, finance, and technology owners a reusable education-specific decision gate for acquisition, renewal, conditional pilot, further due diligence, or rejection.

Required inputs

Have these details available before following the usage instructions.

  • Learning need, affected students and staff, intended outcomes, baseline, proposed use, and viable non-AI or existing-service alternatives.
  • Vendor proposal, claims, architecture, contracts, data-processing terms, support model, prices, and independent evidence.
  • Student and staff data flows, model use, subprocessors, residency, retention, deletion, export, consent or lawful-basis context, and incident arrangements.
  • Accessibility, safeguarding, security, identity, permissions, auditability, inclusion, and equity evidence for actual delivery modes.
  • Implementation, integration, training, review, remediation, migration, exit, and continuity costs and constraints.
  • Named academic, procurement, finance, privacy, security, accessibility, legal, budget, and institutional decision owners.

How to use this Skill

When to use:
- Before acquiring, renewing, piloting, or materially expanding an AI service used in teaching, learning, assessment, student support, or educational administration.
- When student-data handling, accessibility, evidence of educational benefit, or institutional authority affects the decision.
- When a team needs a traceable gate rather than an unstructured vendor comparison.

When not to use:
- Do not use as a generic procurement-intake checklist when the education, student-data, accessibility, and learning-outcome decision is out of scope.
- Do not treat it as legal, privacy, security, accessibility, procurement, or financial certification.
- Do not paste restricted contracts, identifiable education records, credentials, or confidential vendor evidence into an unauthorized assistant.

Instructions:
1. Define the educational problem, affected users, learning outcome, baseline, minimum benefit, alternatives, exclusions, and decision owner.
2. Decompose vendor statements into checkable claims and classify supplied support by source authority, independence, currency, scope, contradiction, and missing evidence.
3. Trace student, staff, research, and institutional data from collection through model use, human and vendor access, telemetry, retention, secondary use, export, deletion, incident response, and exit.
4. Assess accessibility, safeguarding, security, identity, permissions, inclusion, equity, interoperability, support, and change-notification evidence in the real delivery context.
5. Normalize implementation, integration, licences, usage, training, review burden, remediation, migration, continuity, and exit costs.
6. Compare Do not acquire, Further evidence, Bounded pilot, Conditional procurement, and Proceed to accountable approvals. Define conditions, stop criteria, expiry, and review dates.
7. Route each unresolved issue and consequential decision to its named institutional owner. Preserve dissent and conflicting evidence.

Expected output:
An educational need and alternative statement, claim-evidence register, student-data lifecycle map, accessibility/privacy/security/equity control matrix, total-cost and exit scenarios, evidence requests, bounded gate recommendation, required approvals, and decision-record template.

Constraints and boundaries:
- Never invent vendor capabilities, certifications, legal requirements, data locations, retention periods, test results, prices, approvals, or accessibility findings.
- Treat questionnaires and assurances as claims until their evidence and scope are established.
- Prefer aggregated, synthetic, or minimized examples; identifiable student data requires documented necessity, approved handling, and accountable authorization.
- Final procurement, legal, privacy, security, accessibility, academic, financial, and budget decisions remain with the responsible officers.

Completion criteria

Complete when the learning need and alternatives are explicit; material vendor claims have current evidence status; student-data flows, model use, retention, deletion, and exit are mapped; accessibility, privacy, security, safeguarding, equity, cost, and lock-in gaps have owners; and every required approver and stop condition is named. Otherwise return a provisional gate with targeted evidence requests.
