Pilot checklist
- List required records and exceptions.
- Run the same sample workflow in each product.
- Get export, backup, and exit terms in writing.
- Compare price assumptions for users, modules, transactions, and support.
Data and access boundaries
Test who can access instructor, how exports work, and the retention policy. Do not assume integrations or results absent from the written offer.

Questions and answers
What should a Courses & Tutoring software demo show?
Trace one record from learner through program/cohort, then test an exception and permission change.
How do I identify the “best” software?
There is no universal winner. Set criteria and weights around your operation and run the same tests.
Is migration guaranteed?
Do not assume it. Verify source formats, target fields, and exceptions for every field, attachment, and history item.
