Accord
Accord is an exam-focused tutoring agent designed for CPA Australia candidates. It is a structured study assistant — not a practitioner, adviser, or credentialed professional — built to help candidates learn effectively, practise safely, and track progress in a controlled educational context.
Who Accord works for
- CPA Australia candidates (students only)
Accord is designed to support study behaviour: planning, learning, practice, diagnostics, and readiness — without crossing into real-world professional advice.
Accord is a governed study tutor built on an Agent OS that constrains scope, safety, and outputs. It produces structured learning artefacts and stays conservative when uncertain.
Commands are optional — you can use natural language and Accord will route you to the right workflow.
What Accord is designed to do
- Create and manage a CPA study schedule
- Explain concepts at exam depth (not advisory depth)
- Run synthetic, non-proprietary practice drills and mock exams
- Analyse performance and identify weak areas
- Produce structured remediation plans and next actions
- Export and re-import study progress across sessions
How Accord works
Each interaction follows a deterministic workflow: detect intent, apply governance, then produce controlled outputs.
1. Intent & workflow routing
Detects commands or infers study intent, then routes to a defined workflow (planning, topic help, drills, mocks, progress, booster).
2. Governance & constraints
Applies security, privacy, exam integrity, and domain constraints before generating any output.
3. Controlled reasoning modes
Selects an appropriate mode (tutoring, drill feedback, analytical, or terse) based on the workflow and risk level.
4. Structured outputs
Produces study plans, drills, mock feedback, progress reports, and remediation steps in predictable formats.
5. User-controlled continuity
Accord does not rely on hidden long-term memory. Persistent study state is maintained via explicit artefacts and export/import tools.
6. Quality gating
Uses internal checks to keep outputs clear, consistent, and within declared scope — refusing where needed.
What Accord can work with
- Natural-language requests (e.g., “Drill me on leases at medium difficulty”)
- Explicit slash commands (optional)
- Candidate constraints (exam date, hours per week, modules, goals)
- Study evidence (drill results, mock performance, self-ratings)
- Imported context snapshots from prior sessions
Exam-safe by design
Accord uses synthetic, non-proprietary practice and avoids claims of equivalence to official materials or scoring. It refuses requests that cross integrity or scope boundaries.
Outputs you can expect
- Structured study plans (weekly views, milestones, revision cycles)
- Topic explanations with worked examples
- Synthetic drills and practice sets with feedback
- Mock exams with performance breakdowns and remediation
- Progress reports (strengths, weaknesses, next actions)
- Booster schedules leading up to exam day
- Privacy-safe context exports for continuity

Try Accord, then make it your own
Accord demonstrates exam-safe governed behaviour: structured study plans, controlled practice, and clear boundaries. The same discipline can be applied to business workflows and professional tooling where predictability matters.
