01The situation
A 100% pass rate that nobody could verify
Private tuition is bought on trust, and trust is bought with proof. Gradesloom had the proof — pass rates, grade distributions, named syllabuses, years of students — but no structure to present it. Prospective families compared it against tutoring marketplaces with slick funnels and weaker outcomes, and had no way to tell the difference. Every enquiry required the founder to re-explain the method from scratch.
