Prove Your Product's Impact. Win More Districts
Gain the independent, rigorous evidence EdTech companies need to differentiate your product, boost sales and marketing, and secure lasting partnerships with school districts in Minnesota and beyond
The Problem You're Facing
You’ve built an innovative EdTech product designed to improve student outcomes, but demonstrating its true impact can be a significant hurdle.
District Demands
Districts are increasingly asking for clear proof of impact, making it challenging to differentiate your product and respond to tightening budgets.
Competitive Market
In a crowded EdTech landscape, internal claims of effectiveness often aren't enough to stand out. You need objective, third-party validation.
Time & Resources
Conducting rigorous impact evaluations internally can be costly, time-consuming, and divert resources from product development and sales.
Fear of Results
There's always a concern about finding negative results, and how that might impact your messaging or sales.
This challenge can leave your marketing and sales teams struggling to fully articulate your value, hindering your ability to win and retain the district customers you deserve.
Your Independent Validation Partner
At Parsimony, we understand your need for credible, unbiased evidence to showcase your product’s effectiveness. That’s why we offer MomentMN Snapshot Reports: independent impact evaluations specifically designed for EdTech companies like yours.
Founded by Dr. Amanuel Medhanie, who recognized the difficulty districts (and by extension, their vendors) faced in measuring product impact, Parsimony provides objective, third-party validation that sets you apart. We are your authoritative guide in demonstrating tangible results, giving you the competitive edge you need.
The 3-Step MomentMN Plan
We make getting the data you need simple and low-burden. Here’s how MomentMN works:
Step 1
District-Driven Evaluation
Often, a participating school district will request an evaluation of your product’s impact on their students. We engage directly with the district and you.
Step 2
Data-Powered Analysis
Parsimony gathers existing student data from the district and information about your product usage. Our experts then conduct rigorous analyses to determine your product’s impact.
Step 3
Receive Actionable Evidence
You receive a clear, easy-to-understand Snapshot Report with a video interpretation, providing objective evidence of your product’s impact on student outcomes, which is also shared with the relevant school district.
We emphasize speed, efficiency, independence, and objectivity in our messaging. We can also help address
potential negative results by highlighting opportunities for improvement or focusing on positive outcomes
for specific student groups.
Ready to
Showcase Your Value?
Stop guessing about your product's impact and start leading with data. Provide the proof that districts demand and differentiate your offering in the market.
Without independent, third-party validation
of your product's impact:
You risk losing out on competitive bids as districts increasingly demand proof of ROI.
Your sales and marketing efforts may lack the objective data needed to convert leads and retain customers.
Your product may not reach its full potential, as you miss crucial insights for refinement and improvement.
You may struggle to differentiate your offering in a crowded EdTech market.
Imagine a future where you can:
Win More Business
Leverage objective, research-backed evidence in sales presentations, marketing collateral, and case studies to win and retain Minnesota district customers.
Build Unshakeable Trust
Establish greater credibility with potential and existing customers through independent evaluation, which is far more persuasive than internal claims.
Drive Product Excellence
Use evaluation insights to continuously improve and refine your product, ensuring it meets student needs effectively.
Lead Your Market
Set your company apart by offering concrete proof of impact, positioning yourself as a leader committed to student outcomes and accountability.
MomentMN Snapshot Reports empower you with the credible evidence needed to demonstrate your true impact and drive sustainable growth.
