The report should be the final view of the work, not a second copy of it
A connected reporting process begins during the term and ends with teacher review.

The signal
Teachers often complete accurate records throughout a term and then spend additional hours translating them into a separate reporting format. This is a systems design problem: the evidence exists but cannot travel.
What the evidence asks us to notice
- Attendance and marks should remain linked to the class.
- Curriculum progress should be captured as teaching happens.
- Narrative comments need evidence and teacher context.
- Final approval must remain human.
The Asmbly lens
Asmbly’s reporting direction is to assemble the available record into a reviewable draft while preserving the teacher’s ability to correct, contextualise and submit.
A necessary limit
A report can become misleading when missing evidence is filled with generic language. The system should show gaps rather than hide them.
