For Coaches & Schools

See exactly which ciphers your team hasn't covered yet.

Codebusters AI gives your team unlimited practice on every Science Olympiad cipher, with a built-in gap analysis that shows you exactly where each student is weak — before competition day.

Team-wide gap analysis

The Coach Console automatically tracks which cipher types each student has practiced and where they're struggling. The gap map rolls this up across the whole team, color-coded by cluster — so you can see at a glance that, say, everyone is strong on Aristocrats but nobody has touched Fractionated Morse.

  • Per-student and team-wide coverage by cipher cluster
  • Assign targeted practice to close specific gaps
  • Opt-in leaderboard to keep students motivated
  • Weekly parent digests for under-13 students (COPPA-compliant)

Everything you need to coach a team

Roster management

Add students by email or bulk import. Each student gets an account with division-appropriate ciphers automatically.

Targeted assignments

Create practice assignments by cipher type and difficulty. Assign to the whole team or individual students.

Gap analysis

See which cipher clusters your team has covered and where students are struggling, updated in real time.

Opt-in leaderboard

Friendly competition with a team leaderboard. Students opt in — no forced rankings.

Parent digests

Weekly progress emails for parents of under-13 students, with COPPA-compliant consent flows.

Division-aware

Each student sees only the ciphers for their division (A, B, or C). Teams are division-locked.

Built by a coach

Built by a coach who figured out how to actually teach this. I coached my daughter's Codebusters team — three kids, zero cipher experience — to a state medal, by applying my background as an AI product manager to design the right tool and explanation for how each cipher is actually learned. Professor Lock is that same approach, built into an AI coach.
