"This gave me the exact numbers I needed to justify two additional counsellor posts in our budget proposal. The PDF report was sent straight to the finance committee."

JK
James Kwiatkowski
School Principal
★★★★★

"Our ratio was 410:1 — well over the ASCA recommendation. Having a clear calculation with a compliance badge made the conversation with governors much easier."

MP
Dr. Meera Pillai
HR Director
★★★★☆

"The university benchmark option is a nice touch — most tools only support K-12. I use the annual minutes-per-student figure in our student wellbeing reports."

TV
Tomas Varga
Deputy Head Teacher
★★★★★

"Quick, accurate, and free. We run this at the start of each academic year alongside our staffing review. The staffing gap number tells us exactly where to focus."
