The challenge

A great solution isn't enough. It has to fit the system around it.

K–12 growth depends on more than product quality. District priorities, funding, decision-making, implementation capacity, stakeholder trust, and timing all shape whether a solution gains traction—or stalls.

The OpendoorsEd perspective

The opportunity isn't simply to sell into K–12. It's to understand the system well enough to create mutual value within it.
