Drowning
in data.
Starving
for insight.

The Canadian post-secondary sector is navigating unprecedented financial pressure — with fewer resources, fewer people, and an urgent need for the analytics and AI capabilities they no longer have the capacity to build.

The sector
has the data.
Not the sight lines.

Canadian institutions need data to inform operational enhancements and new program development.

But the resources to implement the underlying infrastructure is concentrated in the largest institutions, locking out the small and medium sized institutions most impacted by the crisis.

The data is there, but most institutions can't use it.

Group Count Est. Total Revenue Avg Per Institution
Research Intensive Universities 15 31.4 Billion 2.09 Billion
Other Public Universities ~68 19.0 Billion 279 Million
Public Colleges and Polytechnics ~135 18.5 Billion 137 Million


Synthesized from:
Statistics Canada Table 37-10-0026-01 (2025 Release), and
CAUBO Financial Information of Universities (2024).

One platform.
Sector-wide scale.

Academic Intelligence is the shared infrastructure that unlocks critical data sets, including: institutional policies, tuition and fees, and program performance.

Multiple datasets, one hosted environment.

We're building this now.
Are we on the right track?

The team behind Academic Intelligence has worked inside Canadian post-secondary institutions. We want to hear from the sector — what's useful, what's missing, and whether we're solving the right problems.
