It's important to understand the 'aggregation of marginal gains'. Put simply - how small improvements in a number of different aspects of what we do can have a huge impact to the overall performance of the team

Dave Brailsford, former performance director of British Cycling
​Brailsford believed that if you make a 1% improvement in a host of tiny areas, the cumulative benefits would be remarkable. ​In education we can understand this by research on both the individual impacts on academic outcomes for every 1% improvement in school attendance, and more broadly through societal impact of the same to GDP, health policing and wider services.
​
What if we could make similar marginal, week on week improvements, to student wellbeing and safeguarding? A small percentage improvement to budgets through effective SEN allocations, capital projects success, or cost reduction through integrated curriculum financial planning?​ At the same time, term on term improvements in academic outcomes, destinations, staff recruitment or retention?

Marginal Gains AI is a secure web application built to the same Open Education AI principles we provide the services for, but aimed at those schools, Trusts and other education organisations that do not require their own hosted data lake.
​​
Hosted by edequity.ai, Marginal Gains AI is your one stop shop for data extraction from multiple EdTech systems, secure hosting, and an advanced application that is totally configurable by you to bring the insight you need to the people making decisions on how to improve outcomes. ​​
Key features
Making data informed decisions easy
01
Completely configurable
We don't decide what actionable insight you share with your different audiences - you do! Who use the app, what groups they are in, which groups see what, the navigation options, the colour theme, and the reports themselves... all up to you. Use our excellent stock Power BI reports, customise them yourself or provide your own.
03
Predictive Analytics
We move you from descriptive and diagnostic analytics towards predictive and prescriptive analytics, using responsible AI principles in machine learning. We have optional packages for predictive attendance, safeguarding, academic pathways and more.
02
An EdTech connector library
While we integrate with your MIS data using Wonde, our connector library is growing to include data from other systems such as M365 and Learning Accelerators (such as Reading Progress), HR, Finance and Budgets, Safeguarding (such as CPOMS), public API's and national data. Any module we build we commit to open source with Open Education AI.
04
Generative AI on your data
Marginal Gains AI is your 'co-pilot' to help reduce the amount of time you spend interpreting graphs and charts and focus on answering the key questions to improve outcomes. We integrate with Open AI to tailor the AI response using your data lake and policies, reports and other documentation.
