PAX ASSESSMENT FRAMEWORK
Rethinking Academic Evaluation in the Age of AI
The Pax Assessment Framework (PAF) enables universities, educators, and accreditation bodies to ensure fair, consistent, and transparent grading in an era where AI tools are part of every student’s toolkit. Built from real-world testing on hundreds of academic papers, PAF establishes a new standard for measuring critical thinking, originality, and academic integrity, the core competencies that matter most in higher education.
Why PAF
Traditional grading systems struggle to adapt to the challenges of AI-assisted work. PAF bridges that gap by providing:
- AI-aware grading rubrics that distinguish human reasoning from automated output
- Standardized reporting templates to ensure fairness and transparency across evaluators.
- Accreditation-ready documentation aligned with global quality standards (AACSB, EQUIS, AMBA).
- Institutional benchmarking tools to track trends in originality and critical thinking.
The PAF Grid (PAFG)
At the heart of the framework is the PAF Grid (PAFG), a clear, practical tool for evaluating how students think, argue, and conclude in written work.
The PAFG provides a structured, repeatable method to assess:
- Format & structure
- Topic relevance
- Argument depth & originality
- Critical conclusion
- Referencing & academic rigor
