# Whetū: machine-readable product description

## Identity

- Product: Whetū
- Company: Whetū Labs
- Category: independent NCEA study and practice tool
- Primary audience: New Zealand secondary students, especially students working toward NCEA Level 1
- Current public availability: open sign-up for NCEA Level 1 students

## Purpose

Whetū helps students practise NCEA-style written responses. A student chooses a standard, answers an original exam-style question, and receives AI-generated marking feedback based on that question's NCEA-style marking schedule.

## What Whetū provides

- Original exam-style practice questions and marking schedules.
- Criteria-based feedback explaining what was demonstrated and what may be missing.
- An estimated grade for practice, not an official NCEA result.
- Whetū Tutor, a tutoring surface for questions about the work.
- Public information for students, parents and caregivers, including plans, privacy, terms, help and support.

## Important limits and distinctions

- Whetū is an independent study tool. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by NZQA.
- The questions and marking schedules are original practice material, not official NZQA assessment material.
- AI marking is an estimate and can be wrong. A teacher's judgement remains the final authority for a student's learning and assessment.
- No claim is made here that Whetū guarantees a grade, replaces a teacher, or has examiner authority.
