Executive Summary

Many colleges, vocational schools and corporate training programs struggle to verify in-person attendance reliably as learning shifts to hybrid and microlearning formats; with roughly 300,000 education and training institutions globally, institutions report lost revenue, accreditation risk and logistical overhead when attendance is disputed or faked. Administrators and compliance officers face both routine fraud (proxy check-ins) and sophisticated spoofing as short, frequent sessions make manual roll-calls impractical. You could build a turnkey attendance platform that combines GPS-based geofencing with device verification through hardware-backed attestation, multi-sensor fusion (GNSS + Wi‑Fi/BLE/inertial) and ML-based fraud detection, delivered as lightweight iOS/Android SDKs and LMS integrations plus a real-time dashboard and audit trail. Features would include configurable geofence policies, offline caching for low-connectivity contexts, privacy-by-design controls (consent, minimal data retention) and automated anomaly scoring to reduce false positives, while acknowledging technical limits such as indoor GNSS accuracy and device heterogeneity. Market timing is favorable: the addressable market is approximately $6.0B (300,000 institutions x $20K ACV), and trends in hybrid learning, mobile sensor maturity and reliable AI-based fraud detection give this proposition strong tailwinds; our market and revenue potential scores (88/100 and 86/100) reflect that. To stand out, prioritize demonstrable accuracy and low-friction UX: combine hardware-attestation and multi-signal fusion with transparent ML explainability, turnkey LMS plugins and pilot-friendly pricing so procurement teams can validate performance quickly. Be candid about challenges—competition is medium, adversarial spoofing and privacy compliance require continuous investment—and plan early pilots with measurable KPIs to convert proof points into scale.

Market Opportunity

Prevent attendance fraud using GPS geofencing + device verification targets a $6.0B = 300,000 education & training institutions x $20K ACV total addressable market with medium saturation and a year-over-year growth rate of 8% estimated CAGR for attendance & engagement tooling in education/training.

Key trends driving demand: Hybrid & microlearning -- more short courses and blended sessions increase demand for quick, verifiable attendance checks.; Mobile sensor maturity -- secure device attestation and GNSS accuracy improvements enable stronger presence signals.; AI-based fraud detection -- ML models now reliably spot spoofing patterns and anomalous device behavior at scale..

Key competitors include Top Hat, Canvas (Instructure), QuickBooks Time (formerly TSheets), Eventbrite (QR/Check-in workaround).
