Skill trainers cannot efficiently assess student competency levels

Technical skill trainers (coding bootcamps, digital marketing courses, data science) lack affordable, scalable tools to objectively measure student competency beyond multiple-choice quizzes. They resort to manual code reviews or subjective assessments that consume hours per student, making it impossible to provide timely feedback or identify struggling learners early enough to intervene.
