## How to Choose the Right KnowMeQ Solution

### Which KnowMeQ solution should my institution start with?

- **Start with ArchieCPL** if your institution wants to recognize prior learning, attract adult learners, reduce manual CPL review, or turn work, military, training and life experience into possible credit pathways.
- **Start with Eddie / Ed‑T** if your institution’s biggest challenge is transfer credit: slow decisions, fragmented equivalency records, repeated course reviews, or limited visibility into precedent data.
- **Start with Johari** if your organization needs to identify skills, gaps, adaptability and next-best pathways for upskilling, promotion, outplacement, workforce planning or career transition.

### When should we choose ArchieCPL?

Choose ArchieCPL when your institution wants to make Credit for Prior Learning faster, clearer and more scalable.

ArchieCPL is the best fit when you are trying to:

- Recruit more adult learners
- Help learners see where their experience may count
- Reduce CPL staff workload
- Support veterans, workers and career shifters
- Turn prior learning into enrolment revenue
- Create a stronger CPL intake and review process

**Simple rule:** Use ArchieCPL when the learning happened through work, military, training, life experience or non-traditional pathways.

### When should we choose Eddie / Ed‑T?

Choose Eddie / Ed‑T when your institution wants to improve transfer credit review.

Eddie / Ed‑T is the best fit when you are trying to:

- Match previously earned credits to approved equivalencies
- Reuse historical transfer credit decisions
- Reduce repeated course reviews
- Make transfer credit potential more visible to learners
- Use confidence scores and precedent data to support faster review
- Build a living credit precedent database

**Simple rule:** Use Eddie / Ed‑T when the learner already has previous college or university credit and needs to know how it transfers.

### When should we choose Johari?

Choose Johari when your organization needs better skills intelligence.

Johari is the best fit when you are trying to:

- Identify current skills and gaps
- Understand adaptability and readiness
- Support workforce upskilling
- Guide promotion or succession decisions
- Help laid-off workers or career shifters find better next steps
- Connect people to roles, training, credentials or career pathways

**Simple rule:** Use Johari when the question is: What skills does this person have, what gaps exist, and what pathway fits next?

### When do we need the KnowMeQ Digital Standard?

The Digital Standard is the foundation that connects KnowMeQ tools. It is especially important when your organization wants to connect skills, competencies, learning outcomes, prior learning, transfer credit and career pathways through a common language.

**Simple rule:** Use the Digital Standard when you need multiple systems, institutions, employers or pathways to speak the same skills language.

### Choose by problem (quick table)

| Challenge | Best KnowMeQ starting point |
| --- | --- |
| We want to recruit more adult learners with work, military or life experience. | **ArchieCPL** |
| CPL review is slow, manual and expensive. | **ArchieCPL** |
| Learners cannot see whether their prior learning may count. | **ArchieCPL** |
| Transfer credit decisions take too long. | **Eddie / Ed‑T** |
| Our equivalency and precedent data is fragmented. | **Eddie / Ed‑T** |
| Students need clearer transfer credit visibility. | **Eddie / Ed‑T** |
| We need to understand employee or learner skills. | **Johari** |

### Pain to Relief (homepage-style buyer clarity)

| Buyer pain | What it costs | KnowMeQ relief |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Adult learners do not know whether their experience may count. | Lost inquiries, delayed applications, weaker adult learner conversion. | ArchieCPL helps learners identify where work, military, training and life experience may align to credit-bearing programs. |
| CPL review is slow, manual and hard to scale. | Staff time, labour cost, inconsistent review, learner disengagement. | ArchieCPL organizes evidence, maps experience to outcomes and prepares files for human review. |
| Transfer credit knowledge is fragmented. | Repeated reviews, slow decisions, lost transfer momentum. | Eddie / Ed‑T turns approved equivalencies and prior decisions into reusable precedent data. |
| Skills are invisible across workforce and education systems. | Poor advising, broad training investments, missed mobility opportunities. | Johari identifies skills, gaps, adaptability and pathway fit. |

## ArchieCPL — Credit-for-Prior-Learning (CPL) & transfer-credit evaluation

ArchieCPL is our AI engine for postsecondary CPL, Prior Learning Assessment (PLA), and transfer credit workflows. We built it for colleges, universities, and other credential-granting institutions that process large volumes of non-traditional-learner applications.

### ArchieCPL vs. Manual CPL (comparison)

| Area | Manual CPL process | ArchieCPL |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Learner experience | Learners often do not know what experience may count. | Learners can explore possible credit-fit pathways earlier. |
| Staff workload | Staff manually interpret resumes, records, evidence and course outcomes. | ArchieCPL organizes evidence and maps prior learning to outcomes. |
| Speed | Reviews can take weeks or months depending on workload. | Designed to move CPL files into review-ready form in minutes, not months. |
| Labour cost | High staff time per application and repeated manual review effort. | Reduces administrative burden and allows staff to focus on high-value review. |
| Enrolment impact | Learners may disengage before receiving a clear answer. | Faster credit visibility can help sustain enrolment momentum. |
| Decision authority | Staff make final decisions. | Staff still make final decisions; AI supports the workflow. |
| Strategic value | Often treated as a back-office process. | Positions CPL as a recruitment pathway for adult learners, workers and veterans. |

### How a CPL application flows through ArchieCPL

1. The applicant uploads a résumé, transcript, or other proof of qualifications.
2. ArchieCPL parses the document and evaluates the applicant’s skills, education, and experience against your programs and learning outcomes.
3. The applicant instantly sees preliminary credit recommendations plus a confidence / predictor percentage for application success.
4. The applicant selects the courses they want credit for and submits the application for human review.
5. A college administrator confirms or adjusts the credit and approves the application.
6. Approved credits are added to the student’s academic transcript.

### What ArchieCPL produces for your institution

- Pre-assessed course-credit eligibility for each applicant
- A confidence / predictor percentage for application success
- Evidence-based credit recommendations tied to learning outcomes
- Projected time-to-completion for the chosen program
- Revenue-tracking views from applicant fees for institutional profitability reporting

### Operational details

- Application-processing capacity scales roughly **10×** because the same staff can review a much larger queue.
- Compliance coverage includes **FERPA**, **GDPR**, and **PIPEDA**.
- The platform plugs into existing **Student Information Systems (SIS)**, **CRM**, and **LMS** infrastructure.
- We support **CPL**, **PLA**, and **transfer-credit** use cases in the same workflow.
- Our Fall 2025 White Paper describes a companion **FastPass** experience that surfaces projected time-to-completion and credit eligibility up front, so prospective students see their pathway before applying.
- Documented customers include:
  - **Fleming College** (CPL processing compressed from weeks to days)
  - **Western Governors University** (98% of students receive official CPL evaluations within three to four business days, per our published case material)

### Onboarding for a college (Roadmap for Success)

## SkillsAssessorAQ — Skills-gap identification and personalized upskilling pathways

SkillsAssessorAQ is our science-validated workforce assessment. It delivers an Adaptability Quotient (AQ) score that combines functional and soft-skill measurement so employers and governments can act on skills gaps in real time.

### What the Adaptability Quotient measures

- **Functional skills:** numeracy, reading, digital competency, problem solving
- **Soft skills:** adaptability, personality, social & emotional learning, emotional intelligence

We position SkillsAssessorAQ as a “whole-person assessment” rather than a narrow skills test.

### What you receive

- An AQ score and a real-time skills analysis across the workforce
- Identification of critical skills gaps at the individual, team, or organizational level
- The ability to assign specific training and upskilling actions directly to employees inside the platform

### How customers typically use it

- **Hiring:** pinpoint the exact skills to recruit for and reduce reliance on external hires
- **Retention:** move employees into higher-skilled, better-paid roles and reduce turnover
- **Succession & growth:** align job programs with industry needs and plan for future skill demand

### Typical buyers

Governments, public-sector bodies, large organizations, and private-sector corporations.

## How the three products fit together

We designed these offerings to be used independently or in combination:

- An employer or government can run SkillsAssessorAQ to surface a workforce skills gap.
- The same workers can then move into CareerRecommender to see realistic next-step careers and the training needed.
- Learners who pursue postsecondary credentials flow into ArchieCPL so their work experience, prior certifications, and existing skills convert into college credit quickly instead of repeating courses.

In practice:

- Postsecondary institutions that adopt ArchieCPL can serve more non-traditional learners, and those learners can be supported by CareerRecommender before they ever apply.
- Workforce customers that adopt SkillsAssessorAQ can build a clearer view of which workers to send through CareerRecommender and which to route toward ArchieCPL-supported programs.

## Who we serve

- **Employers and large corporations** — workforce skills diagnostics and upskilling decisions
- **Governments and public-sector bodies** — skills intelligence and labour-market programs
- **Postsecondary institutions** (colleges, universities, alternative credential providers) — CPL, PLA, and transfer credit processing
- **Workers, students, graduates, and job seekers** — career and training guidance
