"The problem isn't AI use. It's that we're measuring the wrong thing."
The viva voce is one of the oldest and most reliable forms of academic assessment. A conversation. A student explaining what they know, in their own words, in real time. It's hard to fake. It's even harder to outsource.
Veridica brings this format back — scaled through conversational AI. An AI agent conducts a structured spoken dialogue, probing for understanding, reasoning, and critical thinking. The educator reviews the transcript. The educator issues the grade. Always.
An AI agent conducts a structured oral exam based on educator-defined rubrics, learning outcomes, and the student's own submitted work.
The same assessment via text. For students with hearing impairments, speech disabilities, social anxiety, or limited bandwidth.
Full transcripts, audio playback, session flags. The educator makes every decision. No AI-generated grades — ever.

When assessment is a conversation, there's nothing to detect. A student who used AI to draft an essay either understands the material — or they don't.
Because the AI never issues a grade, it sits outside the high-risk classification under Regulation (EU) 2024/1689. No audio stored. No data used for training.
