Enterprise research platforms quote per seat and keep education pricing behind a sales call. By the time a number reaches the department, the term has started.
Veritio for Education
Your students should graduate having run real studies.
Research platforms quote per seat and keep education pricing behind a sales call, so information architecture and usability end up taught from slide decks and paper cards. Veritio gives a whole cohort every method, on terms a department can approve.

The status quo
Every design school teaches these methods. Almost none get to run them.
The gap is not curriculum or capability. It is access, and it closes in three predictable ways.
Trials expire mid-project
A fourteen-day trial cannot carry a fourteen-week module. Students lose access to their own data somewhere around the midpoint review.
So methods get taught on paper
Card sorting becomes sticky notes on a wall, tree testing gets skipped, and evaluative testing never produces a number a student can defend at a jury.
Curriculum fit
Your module list, and what students hand in.
Design research methods, information architecture, usability engineering, and the graduation project. Each one maps to a study a student can run this week and defend at the next review.
Design Research Methods
Survey
Thirteen question types including NPS, matrix, ranking, semantic differential, and constant sum, with branching logic, screening questions, and quotas.
Deliverable
A screened sample and clean response data, cross-tabulated with chi-square or Fisher's exact and Cramér's V.
Information Architecture
Card Sort
Open and closed sorts across a full cohort, analysed the way the literature does it rather than through a single opaque score.
Deliverable
A similarity matrix, a dendrogram (Ward or UPGMA), and a PCA plot the student has to read and defend.
Navigation and Structure
Tree Test
Validate the structure the card sort produced, task by task, before anything gets designed.
Deliverable
Findability and directness scores, lostness per task, a pie-tree, and the actual paths participants took.
Usability Evaluation
Prototype Test and Web App Test
Test any deployed URL with no code, or install a snippet on a live site for the studio's industry project.
Deliverable
Click maps, misclick and backtrack rates, time on task, plus session replays and exportable video clips.
Visual and Communication Design
First Impression and First-Click
Put two design directions in front of real people instead of settling the argument in the crit room.
Deliverable
A design comparison with chi-square, a p-value and a confidence level, plus first-click heat maps with area-of-interest overlays.
Capstone, Diploma and Thesis
Any method, plus insight reports
A graduation project can run several studies across a year and keep every result in one workspace.
Deliverable
An AI insight report, a password-protected results link for the guide and jury, and CSV or PDF exports for the document.
Why it works in a classroom
A teaching tool has to show its working.
Industry tools optimise for a fast answer. A course needs the method visible, the data portable, and the access predictable for the length of the term.
It shows its working
Dendrograms, PCA, similarity matrices, findability and lostness, chi-square, Fisher's exact, Cramér's V. The method stays visible, so it can be taught, questioned, and graded rather than taken on faith.
Every method on one license
One platform covers the whole syllabus, from framing a sample in week one to a jury deliverable in week fourteen. No stitching together three vendors and three logins.
Open source, and readable
Veritio is AGPL-3.0. HCI and computer science students can read how findability and clustering are computed, and a department that needs participant data on university infrastructure can run its own instance.
Shaped like a term
Access runs with the semester or the academic year instead of a rolling contract, and there are no per-response fees, so students can iterate rather than ration their sample.
How access works
One license for the cohort. Nothing held back.
There is no good tier and better tier. Every education license unlocks the whole platform with no response caps, because a class cannot be told to ration its sample. The only variable is how many students need an account.
Unlimited responses per study
Paid plans cap at 100 responses. A studio collecting data all term does not, so education licenses have no cap at all.
Unlimited active studies
Every student can have several studies running at once without anyone archiving work to free up a slot.
All 7 study types
Card sort, tree test, survey, first-click, first impression, prototype test, and live website test. Nothing is held back for a higher tier.
Session recordings and clips
Record real sessions, replay them with an event timeline, and export the moments that matter for a crit or a jury.
AI insights and follow-up questions
Generate insight reports, and let the study ask each participant a tailored follow-up. Runs on your own AI key.
Real-time collaboration
Student teams co-edit a study and share one results workspace, with roles, permissions, and comments.
Then pick the size that matches your cohort
Seats can be topped up if enrolment grows mid-term, so start from the closest match rather than rounding up.

Request accessAccess runs to a date you choose
A license ends on a fixed date, one semester or one academic year, not on a rolling renewal. It is invoiced against a purchase order rather than billed to a card, and it never behaves like a trial.
Working on a thesis on your own?
See standard plans Individual students outside a licensed cohort can run studies on a standard plan, with a free trial and no card required.
Three steps
Ready before week one.
Provisioning a cohort is an administrative task, not a negotiation. Most courses go from first email to working accounts inside a week.
Tell us about the course
Institution, programme, course name, cohort size, and when the term starts. One form, and we come back with the shape that fits.
We verify and provision
We confirm the programme, raise an invoice or accept a purchase order, and have every student account ready before week one.
Teach with it
Teaching staff get a walkthrough of each method and a semester plan you can adapt to your own module structure.
Request access
Tell us about your course
Faculty, course coordinators, and programme heads can request access here. We reply with a quote for your cohort, the invoice or purchase order form, and a provisioning date.
- One reply, not a sales sequenceWe come back with the figure and the paperwork in the same email.
- Verified programmes onlyUse your institutional email so we can confirm the programme.
- Procurement friendlyWe work to your finance office's process, including purchase orders and vendor onboarding.
Questions
What faculty ask first
Straight answers, including the places where Veritio does less than the alternatives.
Is Veritio free for universities?
No. Free academic tiers elsewhere come with seat queues, verification waits, and an upgrade conversation the moment a real cohort shows up. Education access is paid, priced per term rather than per seat, and quoted against your actual cohort size so the access lasts the whole module.
Do you supply research participants?
No, Veritio has no participant panel. Students recruit by sharing a study link, or by importing their own contact list, with screening questions and quotas to control who qualifies. In a teaching context that is usually the point: finding and screening the right users is part of the method being assessed.
How do students get their accounts?
You send us the cohort size and we provision the workspace before the term begins. Students sign in with their institutional email and work inside the shared cohort workspace, individually or in project teams.
Can we run Veritio on our own servers?
Yes. Veritio is open source under AGPL-3.0, so a department that needs participant data to stay on university infrastructure can host its own instance. Deployment and upgrade support is included on the Campus tier.
Can we pay by invoice or purchase order?
Yes. Card payment is available if it is simpler, but education access is built for institutional procurement: we issue an invoice against a purchase order and can supply the tax and vendor documentation your finance office needs.
Can students keep their work after the term?
Yes. Studies and results export as CSV, and insight reports export as PDF, so a student can carry the evidence into a portfolio, a thesis document, or a jury presentation after the access period closes.
Does Veritio import Figma prototypes?
Not yet. Figma prototype import is in development. Prototype testing today works by pasting any deployed URL, which covers a published Figma site, a Framer or Webflow build, or anything a student ships from Lovable, v0, Bolt, or Replit.
We are a bootcamp, not a university. Does that count?
Usually yes. Continuing education providers and design bootcamps running a taught research module qualify on the same terms. Tell us the programme and the cohort size in the form and we will confirm.
Put the methods in your students' hands this term.
Send us the course and the cohort size. We will have the workspace ready before your first studio session.
