Coaching 30 students with one Sunday — how academies scale with BSPM

The Sunday Test was the bottleneck. Auto-grading + auto-parent-reports turned it into the engine.

Most coaches we talk to ran into the same wall around their 15th student: the Sunday assessment that used to be a sacred ritual became a chore. Hand-grading 15 ten-puzzle test sheets is 90 minutes. Forty-five minutes after that, you're still typing scores into the academy WhatsApp group.

BSPM's Sunday Test changes the maths.

How the auto-graded version works

Each student gets ten puzzles auto-selected for their level. They solve in the BSPM app or on a printed sheet (we OCR the answers either way). Results land at 5 PM Sunday — for the student AND their parent. You see the aggregate in your coach dashboard the same minute.

What this unlocks

Coaches we've onboarded report taking on 8–15 more students within three months because the per-student admin time dropped from ~2 hours/month to ~30 minutes/month. The ceiling on academy size moved.
