The supervision visibility gap
Dissertation activity can be scattered across email, calendars, documents and personal notes.
Thesis Manager creates a focused operational layer for the dissertation journey. It supports—but does not replace—academic judgement, the virtual learning environment or official student records.
Research Lab Genome
A student-only interactive research profile with optional, consent-based sharing of results with the supervisor.
Allocated student view
Each supervisor works from a focused view of the students assigned to them.
Six supervision checkpoints
Meeting dates and records remain connected to the student’s dissertation journey.
Locked feedback
Supervisor feedback can be locked with author and date/time attribution.
Viva Clash finish
Students unlock a dedicated viva-preparation challenge after completing the ten thesis stages.
Student workspace
A clearer next step.
Students move from their Research Lab Genome through ten thesis stages and finish with student-only access to Viva Clash.
Supervisor workspace
See who may need a conversation.
Supervisors review allocated students, progress, unanswered questions, time-stamped feedback and only the research-profile results students consent to share.
