Methodology and sourcesHow this comparison is maintained.
This comparison is based on the current Tenet tier boundary, reviewed August 11, 2026. It distinguishes one district-wide policy from grade, roster, classroom, and subject-aware take-home differentiation. It does not treat a listed capability as a guarantee on every AI surface.
Tier questionsFrequently asked questions
What does Tenet Basic cost?
Tenet Basic has no Tenet subscription price and is available today. It provides one district-wide baseline on district-managed Chrome devices without grade, roster, class, or teacher policy layers.
Does Tenet Basic require roster data?
No. Tenet Basic is designed for roster-free setup. The district configures one baseline and deploys the managed Chrome client through its device administration environment.
Can Tenet Basic block unapproved AI chat or writing interfaces?
Yes, on district-managed Chrome when the district enables the optional control. Tenet uses curated interface signatures and local multi-signal detection to identify and block detected unapproved AI chat or writing interfaces. District allowlists and bypasses remain in control. Coverage depends on the web surface and vendor changes, and detection is separate from deep governed support on a named product.
When should a district choose Tenet District?
Choose Tenet District when AI policy needs to change by grade, roster, class, teacher, period, or schedule. Tenet District starts at $8 per student per year, with custom district pricing available based on rollout, integrations, and support needs.
Can Tenet District apply different rules by grade level?
Yes. Tenet District can use roster context to apply district-configured grade-level rules, including grade-level AI access decisions and grade-specific policy guidance. Tenet Basic applies one district-wide baseline without grade differentiation.
How do Tenet District take-home rules work for homework?
A teacher can enable a separate take-home rule for a class. Outside an active class period, Tenet District can use local subject detection on district-managed Chrome to match a student prompt with an enabled class rule on supported AI surfaces. If there is no reliable match, Tenet keeps the district baseline. Subject detection is probabilistic and does not identify every prompt perfectly.
Can Tenet District end a session that stops following the active rules?
Yes, where the compliance monitor is supported and configured. Tenet District can use an on-device model to score an active session against district and teacher rules on compatible devices, with a district-configured model fallback available when the on-device model is unavailable. If the score falls below the district threshold, configured enforcement can end the session and show the student an explanation. Districts can validate thresholds in test mode before enabling automatic session end.
Which AI products does Tenet Edge support?
Current governed surfaces include ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, Grok, MagicSchool, SchoolAI, and Brisk Boost. Capability depth varies by surface and content type, and districts should validate their exact tool list during rollout planning.
Does Tenet send every prompt and response to TrueMadeAI?
No. Routine prompt and response bodies are not sent to the TrueMadeAI backend. BYOS general analytics go to a district-controlled destination and exclude raw conversation content. Incident evidence features may preserve conversation text and identifying context for defined events in that district-controlled destination.
