A timetable is a constraint satisfaction problem that most schools solve by hand. The difficulty is not building the first version — it is that every subsequent change silently breaks something elsewhere.
Parent communication needs structure, accuracy, targeting and an audit trail. A chat group provides none of those, which is why official updates increasingly move onto a dedicated broadcasting layer.
Result delays are rarely caused by slow marking. They are caused by the consolidation step between teachers' marks and the final report card — which is exactly the step a connected exam module removes.

Most admission losses are not competitive losses. They are follow-ups that were owed on Thursday and made the following week, by which point the family had enrolled elsewhere.
