Admissions teams make high-stakes decisions with limited insight into how students actually learn.
Traditional admissions measures what students have done — grades, tests, and recommendations. They rarely reveal how a student thinks, adapts, or persists under challenge.
Without a structured framework, evaluators rely on intuition and 30-minute interviews to make decisions that shape a student's next several years.
The result: some students who would thrive with the right support are passed over, and others are admitted without a preparation plan.
From invitation to insight in four steps.
Invite
Send candidates a secure link. They complete LIFT's adaptive experience on any device — no download needed. Sessions take 45-75 minutes.
Experience
LIFT serves age-appropriate reading, writing, math, reasoning, and reflection tasks. It captures not just answers — but how students approach them.
Insight
AI generates a Transition Readiness Index (TRI), scores across 7 readiness dimensions, and plain-language reports for your admissions team.
Decide
Your team reviews with confidence. Pre-interview briefings, structured rubrics, and cohort comparisons make every decision more informed.
Seven dimensions of learning readiness.
LIFT does not diagnose. It reveals how a student approaches academic tasks — the signals that predict who will thrive with the right support.
Reading Interpretation
How a student engages with text — comprehension strategies, evidence use, and the ability to extract meaning from grade-level passages.
Written Expression
Clarity, structure, and voice in written output. LIFT captures revision behavior and how ideas develop across drafts.
Reasoning & Problem Structuring
How a student approaches unfamiliar problems — whether they identify patterns, organize information, and build logical solutions.
Mathematical Reasoning
Accuracy, problem setup, pattern recognition, and the ability to explain mathematical thinking. Scored at grade level — not absolute difficulty.
Reflection & Metacognition
Awareness of one's own learning process. LIFT measures how students evaluate their own work, name challenges, and plan next steps.
Task Persistence
Sustained engagement under challenge. Measured through revision depth, time on task, and willingness to return to difficult items.
Academic Self-Advocacy
How students seek support — whether they use hints, ask for clarification, or leverage available tools when stuck.
LIFT is not a diagnostic tool. It does not assess learning disabilities, clinical conditions, or protected traits. Results support admissions review and must be interpreted by qualified school staff.
9 enriched behavioral signals. Not diagnoses — observations.
LIFT captures 40+ learning signals during each session and distills them into actionable behavioral observations across reading, writing, math, attention, and self-regulation. Every signal describes what was observed — never what's "wrong." Each includes plain-language evidence and a specific recommendation for your team.
Extended Reading Time
Detects when a student spends significantly more time than expected on reading passages — may benefit from additional processing time.
Reasoning–Expression Gap
Strong reasoning performance alongside limited written output — the barrier may be expression, not understanding.
Variable Task Pacing
Highly variable time allocation across tasks — rushing some and spending disproportionate time on others.
Low Support-Seeking
Rarely used available hints when struggling — may benefit from explicit support-seeking strategies.
Task Completion Difficulty
Left multiple tasks incomplete — may reflect difficulty sustaining effort across longer academic experiences.
Limited Metacognitive Expression
Brief reflection responses that rarely reference the student's own thinking process.
Every signal includes: a severity level (advisory or notable), the evidence from the session, and a specific recommendation — like whether to explore extended time, pre-writing scaffolds, or support-seeking strategies with the family. Included in Professional.
A platform your team uses all year.
Admissions Season
Run your full cycle: candidate sessions, evaluator review, waitlist intelligence.
Post-Admissions
Prepare for incoming students: CORE integration, support plans, outcome tracking.
Onboarding Season
Set new students up: grade dean dashboard, 90-day checkpoints, placement guidance.
Cycle Prep
Be ready: cycle configuration, team onboarding, open house demo mode.
The complete admissions intelligence platform.
Enterprise is for institutions that want LIFT to feel like their own — and to go deeper than any other admissions tool on the market.
White Label & Custom Branding
Run LIFT on your own domain with your school's logo, colors, and branding throughout. Candidates see your institution's identity — not ours. Emails, reports, and the candidate experience all reflect your brand.
SIS Integrations
Connect LIFT directly to Veracross, Blackbaud, PowerSchool, or Ravenna. Candidate data flows automatically — no manual exports, no duplicate entry. Your admissions data lives where your team already works.
Institutional Memory Dashboard
Multi-year admissions intelligence that gets smarter with every cycle. Track prediction accuracy over time, compare cohort composition year-over-year, and see which evaluators have the strongest predictive track record — the data your board can't get anywhere else.
Evaluator Calibration & Board Reporting
Know which evaluators predict best. LIFT tracks how each evaluator's recommendations correlate with actual student outcomes, producing board-ready accuracy reports that prove your admissions process works.
Custom Session Configuration
Add school-specific prompts, tasks, or reflection questions to the candidate experience. Enterprise schools can shape the session to surface signals that matter most to their specific admissions philosophy.
API Access & Dedicated Success Manager
Full API access for schools with their own tech teams. Plus a dedicated Inteliflow success manager who knows your school, your cycle, and your goals — with guaranteed SLA response times and priority support throughout the year.
Built for schools that want to understand their candidates, not just rank them.
Independent Day Schools
Gain structured insight into every applicant. Replace guesswork with dimension-level readiness data that informs placement and support from day one.
Boarding Schools
Understand how candidates learn before they arrive on campus. Identify students who need transition support and prepare your residential team accordingly.
Therapeutic Schools
See learning behaviors — not just clinical histories. LIFT surfaces persistence, reflection, and self-advocacy signals that matter most for therapeutic settings.
School Groups & Networks
Standardize admissions insight across campuses. Cohort benchmarks and shared rubrics ensure consistent, defensible decisions at scale.
From guesswork → confidence
LIFT replaces fragmented admissions data with a structured, AI-assisted insight layer that follows each candidate from application through onboarding.
