# Peer grading platforms

> Calibrated peer grading for large classes, with AI moderation.

**Sector**: [EdTech](https://signals.gitdealflow.com/niche-down/edtech)  
**Build cost**: One-quarter build  
**Deal velocity**: Trickle — one deal per quarter

## Why now

Large online courses can't grade open-ended work. Peer grading + AI moderation scales.

## What the signal looks like

Repos with rubric-management libraries, peer-assignment algorithms, and grade-aggregation tools.

## Public examples

*Public projects + categories only — we never name founders tracked inside the paid product.*

- Gradescope shape
- PeerWise
- Open-source peer-grading libraries

## What this displaces

A 600-student class + 3 TAs + spotty grading.

## Our build-vs-invest call

Niche but durable. The wedge is one assessment type (essays, code, math). The moat is rubric library + LMS integrations.

## Frequently asked

### Buyer?

University course staff + MOOC platforms.

### Pricing?

Per student per term.

### Defensibility?

Rubric library + integrations.
