Pilot Goal
Validate value fast
Prove that principals can use an AI assistant to get trustworthy guidance without building a full platform upfront.
Target Users
50 principals
A focused sample group that gives enough signal to test usefulness, trust, adoption, and the most common support needs.
Strategic Outcome
Create a path to scale
Use the pilot to support funding conversations, district partnerships, and a broader rollout across schools.
5. Investment
Why there is an upfront cost
The pilot is intentionally lean, but it still requires real configuration, setup, and tuning to ensure the results are credible and useful.

Once-off
- • AI model configuration and content ingestion
- • Structuring and grounding responses in your materials
- • Interface setup and testing environment
- • Iteration and tuning during the pilot
- • Support, monitoring, and feedback capture
What this enables
This upfront investment ensures the pilot is not just a demo, but a properly configured environment that produces meaningful insights. It allows CLL to test real-world usage with confidence and build a strong case for scaling.
Rather than investing heavily in a full platform upfront, this approach keeps risk low while still delivering high-quality results that can support funding, partnerships, and broader rollout decisions.
2. The Opportunity
School leaders are drowning in complexity
- DBE policies, governance frameworks, and compliance obligations are often dense and difficult to navigate.
- Principals need fast, reliable answers they can trust in real-world situations.
- CLL already has the expertise and content foundation needed to make a high-value AI pilot viable.
Why now
The ingredients are already on the table
Content
Curated PDFs and expert knowledge
Audience
50 principals ready for testing
Use case
Governance and policy support
Potential
National-level scale
3. Proposed Solution
Two layers. One clear experience.
The proposed solution combines a grounded AI knowledge assistant with optional digital avatar experiences to improve clarity, engagement, and usability.
AI Knowledge Assistant
A custom AI chatbot trained on CLL’s curated material, with a tailored tone, grounded answers, and source-aware responses.
Discoverdiva.ai Digital Tutors
Optional AI avatars that can act as digital tutors, helping make the experience more human, intuitive, and engaging for end users.

What the experience looks like
Below is a preview of the AI assistant in action. This demonstrates how principals would interact with the system to get clear, grounded answers based on governance and policy content.
4. Proof of Concept
Focused, measurable, and intentionally lean
Pilot Group
50 principals
Duration
4–8 weeks recommended
Input Content
PDF-based governance and policy material
Testing Outputs
Usage insights, trust signals, feedback
What success should answer
- Do principals trust the answers?
- Does the tool reduce time spent searching for guidance?
- What questions are asked most often?
- What would a scaled rollout need to include?

6. Rollout Model
Designed for broader deployment
Per Principal
R20 – R50 / month
Recommended
District License: R5k – R25k / month
7. Future Expansion
A platform wedge, not just a pilot
- Digital tutor-led learning experiences
- AI-powered training modules
- Analytics dashboards for programme insight
- WhatsApp-based communication and support interface
- Mobile app publishing (iOS, Android)
- Additional platform products and future upsell opportunities
8. Strategic Value
A partnership with room to grow
For CLL, this pilot creates a practical path toward scalable, technology-enabled support for principals. For Scadco, it creates the foundation for a broader education platform relationship — the kind that starts small and gets interesting fast.
