Digital evaluation system

A digital evaluation system for answer-script workflows

PaperGrader provides a structured digital evaluation workflow for institutions moving from physical scripts and spreadsheets to reviewable, rubric-led assessment operations.

For examination cells managing more than marks.

College and university examination teams can use PaperGrader to coordinate answer-script intake, evaluator review, approval status and the evidence needed for follow-up. It is intended for teams that need operational visibility while retaining academic control.

Digitising a scan is not the same as digitising an evaluation process.

An examination cell must still know which scripts are ready, what rubric applies, which results need review and who approved a change. PaperGrader makes those stages explicit so the process can be reviewed without relying on scattered files or untraceable handoffs.

How the evaluation workflow operates

  1. 01

    Set up the assessment

    Establish the question paper, rubric and authorised reviewer roles for the evaluation cycle.

  2. 02

    Create an answer-script queue

    Upload scanned scripts and track their progress through document processing and review.

  3. 03

    Prepare reviewable drafts

    Generate question-level AI-assisted evaluation output for educator inspection.

  4. 04

    Manage review status

    Keep work in draft when it needs attention and record the reviewer action when a score is changed or approved.

  5. 05

    Retain the audit trail

    Use the approved result, notes and timestamps as a record for internal moderation or later re-checks.

Designed for controlled release, not automatic publication.

Evaluation teams should define who can change a score and who can approve it. PaperGrader supports a human approval state and preserves reviewer information so a digital workflow remains accountable to the institution's examination policy.
