Assessment integrity platform
Academic integrity without the black box.
Nigel is an assessment integrity platform that captures assessment evidence, surfaces potential integrity concerns, and gives authorized reviewers a clear record for human decision-making.
The doctrine
Surveillance was never the point. Trust was.
Lockdown browsers
Fragile software that fights the student's own machine and fails at the worst possible moment.
Behavioral scoring
Opaque algorithms that turn a nervous glance into a suspicion score no one can explain.
Auto-suspensions
Machines ending exams and reputations on their own, with no human in the loop until it is too late.
These are the practices Nigel Integrity rejects. None of them exist anywhere in this product, and none ever will.
How it works
Three steps. Zero lockdown.
Start in the browser they already use.
No dedicated lockdown application, no kiosk mode, no OS-level install. A lightweight Chrome extension captures the session with the student's explicit consent, and students launch from the LMS assignment they already have open.
AI sees the room, not the person.
Nigel watches the environment for policy exceptions. It never scores faces, emotions, or behavior.
Your team reviews. On their time.
Flags become sealed evidence packets that sit in a queue until faculty or staff review them. No live proctors. No staffing. No shift scheduling.
360 room view
The end of the camera pan.
One 360 panoramic camera covers the entire room for the entire exam. No awkward laptop sweeps, no blind spots, no arguing later about what was off screen. The whole environment, captured once, reviewable for as long as your retention policy says.
The review queue
A review queue, not a control room.
Nigel monitors every session automatically. When something needs attention, it lands in a review queue for your existing staff to handle on their own schedule. Most sessions never produce a flag at all.

Nigel vs. traditional proctoring
Same goal. Completely different approach.
Traditional proctoring companies sell surveillance and staffing. Nigel is an assessment integrity platform built on evidence and automation.
Fully automated, zero staffing cost
No live proctors to schedule or pay per exam.
Traditional: live proctors, $15-25/exam
Runs in a standard browser
Nothing to install. No lockdown software, no IT tickets.
Traditional: requires a lockdown browser
AI flags, humans decide
Exams never end automatically. A person confirms every violation.
Traditional: AI can auto-suspend mid-session
Zero behavioral scoring
No eye tracking, no keystroke profiling. Ever.
Traditional: scores eye movement and keystrokes
One-shot 360 room scan
Full room captured automatically, no manual camera pan.
Traditional: manual laptop camera pan
Sealed, hashed evidence for every flag
Appeals get real evidence, not just a score.
Traditional: a score or a screenshot
Founding cohort
Early access. Earned trust.
Nigel Integrity is in pilot with a founding cohort of institutions shaping the product before public launch. No purchased logos, no invented testimonials. Just the commitments we hold ourselves to.
0
Auto-suspensions. Ever. The number is structural, not statistical.
0
Behavioral scores. Nigel flags objects and events, never behavior patterns.

Evidence timeline
Appeals workflow

“A flag is the beginning of a conversation, never the end of one.”
LMS integration
Lives inside your LMS.
LTI 1.3 integration. Faculty enable per assessment in under a minute.
Data and trust
Your data. Your institution. Your rules.
FERPA & School Official Model
Operating as a school official under your direct control, with data used only for the purpose you define.
Institution-Controlled Retention
You set how long evidence lives. When the window closes, it is gone. Nigel keeps nothing for itself.
Encryption Everywhere
Encrypted in transit and at rest, with sealed evidence packets hashed for tamper detection.
Configurable Per-Exam Policies
Calculators allowed in one exam, notes in another. Policy lives with the assessment, not the platform.
Implementation and onboarding
From signed agreement to first monitored exam in a structured pilot.
Every institution gets a dedicated onboarding contact, not a ticket queue. No new servers, no network changes, no device reimaging.

One LTI 1.3 registration in Canvas, Blackboard, Moodle, or D2L, then per-exam policy configuration with your integrity office.
Week 2: Reviewer training

Weeks 3 and 4: Pilot exams
A scoped pilot on low-stakes assessments, reviewed together, before you roll out to high-stakes exams.
