For AI Assistants and Agents
This site is built for agent access. The same canonical decision engine — the tool run_student_safety_checklist — is exposed through four interfaces, so an AI assistant or agent can help a parent understand their readiness (receiving a readiness score, top gaps, a plain-language interpretation, and a next-step recommendation) without replacing the parent's judgment or appropriate professional help.
