Technical Implementation Effort

Next Development Phase: <p><strong>Scale sales.</strong></p><p>So far, most of the schools have come through personal connections and cold outreach. That works when you’re one person, but it obviously doesn’t scale very far. A buyer that already has a sales team, education network, or relationships with schools could probably grow the customer base much faster.</p><p><strong>Finish the Question Bank.</strong></p><p>The CBT system already works, but the reusable question-bank architecture was something I intentionally left for later. The idea is to have a central library of questions that can be reused across different exams instead of treating every exam as a completely separate set of questions. That would make the CBT side of the platform much more powerful.</p><p><strong>Add email notifications.</strong></p><p>Right now, notifications work through browser push. Email notifications for things like exam results, assignments, and school broadcasts were left out mainly because sending large volumes of email comes with an ongoing cost. Once there’s enough revenue to justify it, this is a pretty straightforward addition.</p><p><strong>Build out the Enterprise tier.</strong></p><p>The pricing page already has Enterprise features like dedicated database instances and custom API access, but those pieces haven't been built yet. I didn't see much point in spending time on them before there was an actual Enterprise customer asking for them. If a buyer brings in that kind of customer, there's a clear reason to build them.</p><p><strong>Expand beyond Nigeria.</strong></p><p>The product is currently built around the Nigerian private-school market, where affordability is a major part of the value proposition. There are plenty of other African markets with similar problems, so the same product could potentially be adapted for those markets rather than starting from scratch.</p><p><strong>Put a team behind it.</strong></p><p>The entire thing has been built and operated as a bootstrapped solo project. That's probably the biggest limitation right now. With funding, an existing team, or simply more people working on it, there's a lot more that could be shipped and a lot more schools that could be onboarded. The 70–100 school first-year target becomes much more realistic when you're not doing everything yourself.</p>
