Process Overview

Working with Bevel

We've designed this path to help institutions evaluate Bevel with confidence before scaling. Here's how teams move from early alignment to full partnership.

Step 01

Sandbox Access

Get hands on with the platform.

1.1

Alignment Call

60 min

We meet with the core stakeholders. The goal is to deeply understand institutional priorities, current workflows (e.g., revision cycles, quality reviews, accreditation prep), and what success looks like for your team. By the end of the call, the team is onboarded and has sandbox access in hand.

This gives us enough context to set up a sandbox that best maps to your workflows and goals.

1.2

Sandbox Access

2 weeks

Your team gets access to a Bevel sandbox environment. We preload representative sample course content so the team can test real workflows from day one. If there's interest, we can also upload a sample of your own content (via .imscc package).

  • -No LMS integration required
  • -Representative sample content preloaded
  • -Test key Bevel workflows yourself

The sandbox is meant to be a low-lift way to find the best way to use Bevel for your institution.

1.3

Sandbox Debrief

60 min

Stakeholders reconvene to discuss what the team found. We talk through feedback, and whether there's a clear, contained use case worth running a pilot on. If there's mutual alignment, we start scoping what that pilot looks like.

Step 02

Pilot Design

Define a contained, measurable test, with clear success criteria.

2.1

Define Scope

Bevel will draft a scope document based on conversations as a starting point. We then work through it together to land on something realistic and well-defined, with clear success criteria.

  • -Number of seats
  • -Courses included
  • -Specific workflows to test
  • -Clear success criteria, defined up front so the evaluation is objective
2.2

Refine and Finalize

We iterate on scope until it feels appropriately sized and aligned with your institutional goals. Once we're aligned, we'll finalize the scope document.

2.3

Technical + Security Review

Our CTO leads a technical diligence call alongside your IT or security team. We come prepared with documentation and answer questions directly. Read more here.

  • -SOC materials (as applicable)
  • -HECVAT
  • -Security architecture overview
  • -Data handling practices

Most institutions clear technical diligence in a single session between Bevel and your IT team.

Pilot Tiers

Minimum

$10K

Focused use case, limited seats.

Growth

$15K

Broader participation and expanded course coverage.

Enterprise

$20K

Large-scale testing engagement.

Once scope and diligence are cleared, we finalize terms, work through procurement, and get started.

Step 03

Paid Pilot

Run the work. Generate real evidence.

Pilots typically run for 12 weeks in a live institutional environment against the success criteria defined in Step 2.

  • -Full onboarding and training for all users
  • -Teams use Bevel on live courses in the agreed-upon context
  • -Weekly or bi-weekly check-ins with the Bevel team
  • -Progress tracked against defined success criteria throughout
  • -Fast iteration based on feedback, we adjust product and approach as we go

The pilot is designed to generate clear evidence.

Step 04

Full Partnership

Scale what works.

At the end of the pilot, we review outcomes against the agreed success criteria together. If the bar is met, we structure a broader agreement on your timeline.

  • -Expanded seat access across teams or departments
  • -LMS integration (Canvas, Brightspace, Blackboard, Moodle), if desired
  • -Annual agreement
  • -Defined implementation, support and rollout plan developed

The whole process is designed to make sure scale only happens once value has been clearly demonstrated.

This process is designed to give institutions confidence and maximize signal. We believe in partnering with our customers, and this pilot process is designed to give both parties the data and confidence needed to build strong partnerships. It's how we build partnerships that last.
