ThinkCERCA

Scaling Critical Thinking, Together

Delivering key EdTech features that unlock growth and drive revenue.

ThinkCERCA has an essential purpose: to give students the opportunity to improve their reading and writing skills through critical thinking.


To achieve that mission at scale, they needed to grow fast—both in features and technical depth. But with frequent system issues, a high volume of support tickets, and development velocity near zero, progress was stalled.

That’s when we stepped in and turned things around.
