Its Scan-to-Grade technology converts handwritten scripts into digitally graded and traceable results, bridging Africa’s paper-first assessment environment with modern integrity standards.

SimplifiedIQ also provides audit-ready dashboards and reporting tools that support accreditation, regulatory oversight and institutional compliance. These capabilities are intended to reduce disputes, improve processing efficiency and strengthen confidence in assessment and certification outcomes.

The company works with organisations responsible for high-stakes professional, regulatory and workforce decisions. Its partners include the Chartered Institute of Project Management of Nigeria (CIPMN), Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency (LASEPA) and SeamlessHR, reflecting its application across education, regulation and corporate hiring environments.
