ZYK Control

Schools need an AI control plane, not a collection of individual settings.

ZYK Control is the proposed institutional governance and administration layer for identity, permissions, model access, audit, consent, retention, filtering, review and operational visibility.

Identity & policy

Define who can use what — and under which rules.

Roles

Students, teachers, school leaders, IT staff and administrators can require different model access, tools, knowledge collections and operational permissions.

Model permissions

Institutions can define which approved models or capabilities are available to which roles and contexts.

Usage rules

Quotas, feature availability, age-appropriate restrictions and school policies can be applied centrally rather than configured by every user.

Approval workflows

Selected generated materials or sensitive workflows can require teacher or administrative review before use or publication.

Governance records

Controls should be inspectable, not invisible.

Audit logs

Record relevant access and system events to support troubleshooting, governance review and incident investigation.

Consent state

Where consent is an appropriate legal basis or institutional requirement, workflows can track status and associated records.

Retention & deletion

Policies can define how long different classes of information are kept and how approved deletion workflows operate.

Incident review

Administrators need a structured way to investigate problematic outputs, policy breaches or suspicious access without relying on screenshots and memory.

Content & model governance

Safety controls belong above individual applications.

Filtering

Text, image and other content controls can be configured as institutional policy rather than left to each teacher or student.

Labelling

AI-generated-content labelling and watermarking settings can be applied where appropriate to the use case and applicable rules.

Model catalogue

Schools can maintain an approved catalogue of models, versions and intended use cases rather than allowing uncontrolled model switching.

Sandbox boundary

Experimental models and workflows can be separated from production services so testing does not automatically become institutional deployment.

Multi-school direction

Control can scale from one school to a group or region.

A future group-level control plane could define common governance baselines while allowing schools to retain campus-specific users, knowledge, schedules and educational workflows.

Group baseline

Approved model list, minimum controls, documentation requirements and common service standards.

Campus autonomy

Local curriculum, permissions and operational settings can remain within defined school-level boundaries.

Central visibility

Group or bureau administrators may need aggregated health, policy and utilisation views without exposing inappropriate school-level personal data.

ZYK Control is a content-v2 strategic product concept. It organises governance features already present across the ZYK business plan, but its exact implemented feature set must be validated before commercial publication.
