Privacy is the gate
Children’s data sits at the privacy regime’s strictest edge: schools act as data controllers and sign vendors as processors on standardised agreements, sector privacy covenants set the template in several countries, and the assessment file — what you collect, where it lives, who sees it — is requested before any pilot. The EU data answer is the ticket: hosting, entity and transfers on one page: that chapter, with AI features adding the act’s questions: that frame.
Procurement’s paper reality
Schools buy through boards, municipalities and framework agreements — slow to enter, sticky once in. The pattern that converts: a light pilot with named success criteria, the privacy file pre-approved, and a price that fits budget cycles decided a year ahead. An EU contracting entity moves you inside the frameworks where third-country vendors wait outside.
The Dutch base for the build
The BV contracts across the union’s school systems; the WBSO funds the platform development (the credit) with the innovation box on the result (the 9%); and consumer-side revenue — parents, learners direct — runs the standard digital-VAT rails: the OSS. The chart is the standard skeleton: the structure.
