Why Oakslot
Every academic scheduler claims a solver and real-time collaboration. Six places where the work shows up in the product, not the brochure.
$499 Starter, $1,499 Pro, Enterprise custom. One Google search away.
Every direct competitor is quote-only.
REST endpoints for every entity, scoped API keys, signed webhooks with SSRF protection, iCal subscription feeds.
Most competitors are missing at least one of: public docs, webhook delivery, or signing.
SAML SP-initiated, OIDC per organisation, social sign-in. JIT provisioning and group-to-role mapping.
Most vendors paywall SSO to Enterprise. Coursedog doesn't support OIDC at all.
Schedule updates push live over Server-Sent Events. Two people work the same timetable safely, with optimistic locking on the schedule version.
Most incumbents poll or invite-sync. A live editing session is a rewrite away.
13 hard, 19 soft, and 5 exam-specific constraints, each implemented in the Rust core and verifiable in the open scoring code.
Most vendors publish constraint marketing claims, not auditable code.
Multi-tenant SaaS, day-one provisioning. Sign up, your org is live, your first solve runs the same afternoon.
Ad Astra and Scientia rollouts run multi-month with implementation services.

Constraint solving, multi-step approvals, and exam scheduling in one platform — built around how academic affairs offices actually work.
SSO, scoped API keys, signed webhooks, query-layer tenant isolation. Procurement and security signals shipped, not promised.
