I've seen this problem from every seat at the table: as an HQ staff member, local and national volunteer, FSL and IFC professional, and for more than a decade, as a conduct practitioner.

Twenty years in student affairs, in conduct offices, working with FSL professionals, in rooms where the conversation was always some version of the same question: how did we not see this coming? The honest answer, every time, was that we did see it. We just had no systematic way to say so.

Over 4,000 conduct cases adjudicated. Chapters accumulating warning signs across three or four semesters that nobody connected into a pattern. The data lived in a system designed for individual accountability, not for surfacing organizational risk. The best FSL professionals in the country were managing that gap on instinct. I wanted to build something that made instinct defensible.

That's what CORI™ is. It's not a compliance tool. It's not a report generator. It's the thing I kept wishing existed when I was sitting in that office: a way to look at your entire community at once, in a single number, grounded in the data you already have. Built the way practitioners actually think. Protego doesn't replace due process. It makes sure you're not caught off guard when it starts.

I built Protego on personal time, with no outside funding. I didn't want a tool built for practitioners to end up shaped by people who've never sat in a conduct office. Every methodology decision in this platform was made by someone who understands what's at stake when you get it wrong. If any of this resonates, I'd love to talk. Just reach out.
