Built for the challenges districts face today
Ghost-Proof Assessment
CLARO measures the reasoning process, not the product. Students can't outsource thinking to a shortcut — Chispa's dialogue requires genuine cognitive engagement in real time.
The Ghost Learning Problem
Students who can recall facts but can't reason with them. CLARO identifies Ghost Learners before they reach high-stakes assessments — and before the gap compounds.
Bilingual Capability
CLARO works in English and Spanish from launch. Measures thinking, not cultural fluency. Removes the linguistic bias that skews traditional assessment data.
Research-Backed ROI
Built on doctoral research (r = .60–.71). The 360° ROI Framework provides measurable value across financial, achievement, equity, and operational dimensions.

ELA Standards Alignment Crosswalk
One-page PDF mapping CLARO's DialogIQ™ observable behaviors to exact standard codes in Common Core ELA (CCSS), Texas TEKS, and Florida B.E.S.T. — ready for your curriculum director or procurement review.
Your multilingual students are already more cognitively flexible.
Conventional assessments can’t see it. CLARO can — and now has the data layer to prove it to your board.
Cognitive Flexibility Index (CFI)
CLARO computes a CFI score for every multilingual student — derived from translanguaging frequency, responsiveness to cognitive challenge, and cross-session reasoning consistency. A high CFI shows a student whose bilingual background is functioning as a cognitive asset in real instructional contexts.
Language Disaggregation Layer
The Multilingual Insights dashboard disaggregates DQ scores and CFI by language profile (English-dominant, Spanish-dominant, bilingual) and EL status. For the first time, districts can see whether their EL students are being assessed on their reasoning — or on their English.
Translanguaging as Evidence
CLARO’s DialogIQ™ engine is language-agnostic by design. A student who code-switches mid-argument is not penalized — they are scored on the quality of the reasoning. Mixed-language turns are tracked separately, giving teachers evidence that translanguaging is a cognitive strategy, not a deficit.
The equity argument your board needs
Districts with large EL and dual-language populations can now show — with CLARO data — that multilingual students are not underperforming. They are being under-assessed. The CFI provides the evidence layer to reframe the narrative from remediation to recognition.
