There are distinct psychometric techniques used to validate the trustability of assessments. Those same techniques could be used to validate the classroom assessments, but - obviously - no one has the financial or time budget to implement such a thing. So, the idea is that you would begin by providing an assessment creation tool that can be seamlessly implemented in the classroom that also has the ability, in a more aggregated fashion, to develop assessments that pass psychometric evaluation. Would it replace the ACT/SAT immediately? Of course not. The effort would be a classic innovator's dilemma scenario in which the continuous collection of curriculum, instruction and assessment content creates a unique (and, currently, silo'ed/analog) data set against which to continuously improve the quality of the assessment tool. From there - you branch out into instructional support more broadly, but that's a much broader and more difficult context.
