The Methodology

From First Invitation to Complete Audit Record

Six structured steps that replace fragmented workflows with one formal academic environment.

01

Institutional Onboarding

Administrators create role-based invitations. Students and supervisors join through a secure, token-verified flow — no self-registration, no ambiguity.

Invitation-only access with SHA-256 hashed tokens and automatic expiry.

Institutional Onboarding

02

One Space Per Dissertation

Each dissertation gets a dedicated workspace linking communication, documents, meetings, and audit records in one structured environment.

Multi-tenant isolation ensures complete data separation between institutions.

One Space Per Dissertation

03

Official Communication

Supervision happens in formal, timestamped threads — not scattered emails or personal messaging. Every exchange is attributable and permanent.

Real-time messaging with Supabase Realtime. Every message logged in the audit trail.

Official Communication

04

Version-Controlled Documents

Students upload drafts as immutable versions. Supervisors review, comment, and mark documents — creating a complete feedback history.

No overwriting. Each version is preserved with status tracking and inline comments.

Version-Controlled Documents

05

Meeting Records

Schedule supervision meetings with agendas, attach video conference links, and maintain a consistent institutional record of what was arranged.

Zoom, Teams, and Jitsi integration. Status workflow from scheduled to completed.

06

Immutable Audit Trail

Every significant supervision event is recorded in an append-only timeline. Protected by database triggers — no one can modify or delete entries.

Built for academic reviews, appeals, complaints, and quality assurance.
