About Fianais
Built from a question about how support evidence could work better
Fianais is an independent, early-stage project exploring a clearer way to connect learner support, classroom experience and professional review.
Why it is being built
Schools care deeply about getting support right.
Yet the information needed for good decisions can be scattered across systems, documents and conversations. Fianais is exploring whether a more connected workflow can make that work clearer and more manageable.
Product principles
Start with practice
Design around real school work, not an idealised process.
Keep evidence proportionate
Capture the smallest useful record at the right time.
Make learner voice meaningful
Keep experience connected to planning and review.
Show the reasoning
Make changes and decisions easier to understand later.
Founder
Rob Fraser
Rob is building Fianais independently and inviting Scottish education practitioners to challenge the assumptions, test early workflows and influence what changes next.
The commitment is to listen before claiming certainty and to keep the product grounded in the work people actually do.
