The Bett Awards, regarded as one of the most established indicators of progress in global education technology, received submissions from a large field of international entrants. Only a relatively limited number advanced to finalist status, reflecting the competitive nature of the proceAI in academic evaluation gains institutional attentionss.

^{AI in academic evaluation gains institutional attention}

Schometer has drawn increasing interest from universities and research-led institutions for its structured approach to academic assessment. Unlike generic automated scoring tools, the system incorporates linguistic analysis, academic-level calibration and rubric-aligned evaluation, aiming to offer more consistency and clarity in marking.

The platform’s development builds on PagePeek’s earlier research model, AI Professor. The current version is positioned as a dual-purpose system serving both educators and students.

Its design includes:

• Level-specific evaluation for undergraduate, postgraduate, doctoral and journal writing
• Transparent, multi-dimensional feedback rather than single-score output
• Support for institutional rubrics and discipline-specific criteria
• Cloud or on-premise deployment aligned with data-sovereignty requirements
• A GDPR-compliant privacy policy that excludes student submissions from model training

Sector analysts note that Schometer’s rise reflects a broader institutional shift toward responsible AI: tools that support academic judgement without diminishing academic standards or human oversight.

_{Industry implications of the Bett recognition}

The Bett Awards have become a benchmark for identifying technologies likely to influence mainstream institutional adoption. Products that reach the finalist stage often indicate emerging directions in transitional innovation.

Market observers say that PagePeek’s appearance on this year’s list indicates a growing appetite for AI-supported feedback systems that address both workload pressures and the demand for transparent evaluation.

Although PagePeek operates on a smaller scale than many multinational EdTech firms, its placement within the finalist cohort has been viewed as notable for an emerging company.
