Built by conduit488.ai

Independent AI lab building transparent technology for education

Creator

Ascent 11+ is designed and built by conduit488.ai, an independent AI lab focused on education technology.

Our Philosophy:

  • ✓Transparency first — every AI-generated question is scored, audited, and traceable through our Ascent Crucible pipeline
  • ✓Free access to learning — unlimited practice questions will never be paywalled; we charge for parent insights, not children's learning
  • ✓Privacy by design — ICO Children's Code compliant, minimal data collection (first name only), no tracking, no advertising
  • ✓Curriculum integrity — all content aligned to the UK National Curriculum KS2 objectives and GL Assessment formats

We believe AI should augment education, not replace teachers. Ascent is a tool for families — giving every child access to quality practice material, regardless of their family's ability to pay for tutors.
