Licensing

Built for workforce-scale civic learning, not individual users.

ambivalence is designed to run at council scale — multi-tenant, analytics-rich, and interoperable with whatever LMS your organisation already uses. Single authority, combined authority, mayoral office, ICB, or national body: we align how you licence the platform with the way your workforce strategy already works.

What You Get

Tenancy, analytics, multilingual — out of the box

Every institutional deployment includes the core three capabilities below. Anything else — cohort design, custom rubrics, white-labelled badges — is a conversation, not a paywall.

Tenant provisioning

Your own isolated workspace. Create cohorts, assign episodes, issue invite tokens, manage seats and licence periods from a single admin dashboard — no support ticket required for the everyday things.

Workforce analytics your CPO can defend at Cabinet

Active learners, badge distribution, domain strength, completion rates — sliced by cohort, role, and directorate. The kind of evidence that wins the next workforce-budget conversation with members, not the kind that gets hand-waved.

Multilingual & accessible

How to engage

Easy to start — we meet you where you are

Most teams begin with a short call and a clear pilot shape: who the first learners are, what success looks like, and how ambivalence sits next to your existing L&D stack. From there we stay alongside your procurement and governance colleagues — no need to unpick your internal process on a marketing page.

Conversation first

We agree scope, timeline, and support together before anything is signed. You get plain language on what's in the licence, what we run for you, and what your team owns — then a proposal your organisation can take through its usual approvals.

Fits public-sector buying

We're set up to work with the ways UK public organisations typically procure learning — direct award below threshold, RM6219 mini-competitions, devolved adult skills frameworks, or partner-led delivery. If your organisation uses a particular route, we'll map to it with your commercial team — you don't need the detail here to book an initial conversation.

Partners welcome

If you prefer to buy through an L&D partner, university, or consortium you already trust, we can support that model. The goal is the same: your people get ambivalence without unnecessary friction.


Auditable development

Progress L&D can actually point to

Every episode and interaction in ambivalence maps to a specific rubric cell in the 9 × 4 competency framework. Progress is never a completion percentage — it's an evidence-backed position on a civic competency map your organisation can audit, report on, and share. When learners cross a cell's rubric threshold, the platform issues a signed Open Badges 3.0 credential that goes with them.

Reorganisation

For councils integrating workforces

Reorganisation is a sensemaking rupture. Whether you're shaping a shadow authority for 2027, integrating predecessor cultures into a 2023-vintage unitary, or harmonising staff across a combined authority's footprint, ambivalence gives every workforce a shared civic vocabulary that doesn't depend on which legacy organisation they came from.

The same nine domains, the same rubric, the same fables — read by everyone, owned by no one in particular. Procurable now, in time to land before vesting day.


LMS integration

Fits with what you already have

ambivalence is built to sit alongside your existing LMS, not to replace it. Learning data flows from ambivalence into your central reporting via xAPI — so you don't have to ask your organisation to make a hard choice between platforms.

xAPI into your LRS

ambivalence emits xAPI statements for interactions, completions, and credential awards, and POSTs them to any LRS endpoint you give us — commonly a Learning Record Store fronted by Moodle, Canvas, Blackboard, Totara, or a standalone LRS like SCORM Cloud.

Your LRS, your data

Each tenant deployment points at its own LRS endpoint, configured at provisioning time. Data residency stays UK/EU end-to-end. If you don't already run an LRS, we can recommend UK/EU-hosted providers before we configure the integration.

No LRS? You still get the credentials

Every completion produces a signed OB3 credential with a public verify URL — so even organisations without xAPI infrastructure get portable, verifiable recognition for staff. Useful for smaller councils, arm's-length bodies, and short pilots.


Trust & data

UK-hosted, GDPR-compliant, DPA on request

All platform data lives on UK/EU infrastructure. We operate under UK GDPR and provide a Data Processing Agreement as standard with any institutional licence. Our security posture is aligned to the NCSC Cloud Security Principles, and we benchmark against ISO 27001 and the NHS DSPT.
