How DetermiNext Works

From launch code to IEP-ready document in under 15 minutes. Here's exactly what happens at each step.

01

Teacher creates a student and generates a launch code

From the teacher dashboard, you add the student's first name and class standing, then generate a launch code. No student email, no student account. The code is a one-time access credential scoped to that student's assessment session.

02

Student completes the 20-question PINS wizard

The student navigates to the assessment URL on any device — phone, Chromebook, tablet — and enters their username and launch code. The wizard presents 20 structured questions across the PINS domains. Most students finish in 8–12 minutes. No login, no account creation, no email required.

03

Google Gemini AI maps the PINS profile to RIASEC career pathways

When the student submits, DetermiNext's backend sends the PINS responses to Google's Gemini AI. The AI analyzes the responses and identifies RIASEC career codes that best match the student's profile — then maps those codes to specific career clusters, job titles, and postsecondary pathways.

04

Two outputs are generated automatically

The AI produces two documents simultaneously: a student-facing Career Guide (written in accessible language, suitable for the student and their family) and a teacher-facing IEP Transition Package (structured around the four Indicator 13 components: postsecondary goals, transition services, courses of study, and assessment documentation).

05

Teacher reviews, downloads, and attaches to the IEP

Both documents appear immediately in the teacher's dashboard. The teacher reviews the content, makes any adjustments, and downloads the IEP Transition Package as a formatted document ready to attach to the student's IEP file. The Career Guide can be shared directly with the student and family.

Total time from setup to document

Most teachers complete the setup (adding a student, generating a code) in under 2 minutes. The student assessment takes 8–12 minutes. AI generation typically completes in under 60 seconds after submission. From start to IEP-ready draft: under 15 minutes per student.
