Implementation Decision Matrix
This matrix helps organizations decide which intelligent textbook level to target based on their capabilities and infrastructure.
How to Use This Matrix
Axes
- Y-Axis (Technical Capability): AI expertise, development resources, LLM access
- X-Axis (Data Readiness): Privacy compliance, student data infrastructure, LRS capability
Key Insights
- Start with Level 2: Most organizations should begin here—low risk, high value
- Leapfrog to L4: High-capability orgs can skip L3's data requirements
- L3 is strategic: Building data infrastructure now positions you for the future
Strategic Considerations
| Starting Point | Recommended Path |
|---|---|
| New to ed-tech | L1 → L2 → L3 |
| Strong tech, weak privacy | L2 → L4 (skip L3) |
| Strong privacy compliance | L2 → L3 → L4 |
| Research institution | L3 → L4 → L5 pilots |
