Throughout the MET program, I have explored an extraordinary range of emerging educational technologies, AI applications, and digital learning platforms. While many of these innovations help schools collect, organize, or analyze information, they also led me to a different question.
As schools become increasingly effective at collecting evidence, how do schools learn from the decisions they make?
That question became the foundation of my venture.
For this project, I explored Toddle Intelligence, a strategic direction for Toddle that introduces Institutional Decision Intelligence. Rather than proposing another AI feature, chatbot, or analytics dashboard, the venture explores how connected evidence can support explainable decision-making, coordinated action, and continuous institutional learning while keeping educators responsible for every consequential decision.
The venture recommends a carefully bounded Canadian pilot in independent IB schools to determine whether Institutional Decision Intelligence creates measurable educational, operational, adoption, and commercial value before broader platform investment. The objective is not to automate educational decisions, but to determine whether explainable decision support can improve institutional decision quality while preserving educator judgement.
One of the most valuable aspects of this assignment was shifting my perspective from designing educational technology to evaluating it as an investor. Rather than asking, “What can AI do?”, I found myself asking, “What evidence would justify investing in this idea?” That shift fundamentally changed how I approached the venture and became the foundation of the investment case.

Discussion
I would genuinely appreciate your feedback on the following questions or any that arise as you explore Toddle Intelligence:
- Does Institutional Decision Intelligence represent a meaningful strategic evolution for an existing educational technology platform?
- Where do you see the greatest risks, unanswered questions, or opportunities for future development?
Thank you for taking the time to review Toddle Intelligence. I look forward to reading your feedback and continuing the conversation about how educational technology might move beyond helping schools collect evidence toward helping institutions learn from their decisions.
