05 — Non-Negotiable Constraints

⚠️ No self-serve trial signup. Trial access requires a demo with Leanne. Never add a signup form to the site.

⚠️ Question bank only. Acrux Mark only marks assessments generated from the Acrux question bank. Never imply teachers can upload their own assessments.

⚠️ Single CTA everywhere. Every CTA reads “See it in action” — routes to demo booking. No “Start free trial” buttons.

⚠️ Verbatim stats only. 42% non-teaching time on marking/planning · 80% reduction in marking time · 59% teachers considered leaving · 150–200 hours saved per teacher per year. Do not alter these figures.

⚠️ Australian English throughout. ‘Marking’ not ‘grading’. ‘Maths’ not ‘math’. ‘Year 10’ not ‘Grade 10’.

⚠️ 404 page copy is sacred. Preserve: “We’ve checked our working. Twice.”

How does Acrux mark handwritten assessments?

+

Acrux uses AI trained on handwritten maths to interpret student responses. Teachers set the question bank, students write on paper, you scan to PDF, and Acrux marks each question automatically.

AI-POWERED MARKING

Your Sunday nights belong to you.

Acrux automatically marks handwritten maths assessments. Students write on paper. You scan. Results in seconds.

STEP 01

Build from the question bank

Teachers create assessments using the Acrux curriculum-aligned question bank. Choose topic, difficulty and number of questions. Print and hand to students. Assessments only work with questions from the Acrux bank — this is what makes the automatic marking possible.

STEP 02

Collect papers. Scan to PDF. Upload.

Collect the completed papers, run them through any office scanner or multifunction printer, and upload the PDF to Acrux. No special equipment. Any scanner your school already has will work perfectly.

"I spent 25 years in the classroom watching brilliant colleagues burn out and leave the profession. Not because they didn't love teaching — because the paperwork mountain was unsustainable."

Head of Mathematics

I used to spend four hours on a Sunday marking Year 10 papers. Now I get that time back every week. It’s not an exaggeration to say this changed my relationship with my job.
