a. Transcripts are typically in .pdf files but other formats such as .jpeg may be supplied to the vendor
2. Digitize the data for processing
a. Student Name, high school name, course names, course credits, course level, year etc. must be parsed into separate data fields b. Data must be able to be securely transferred between vendor and buyer c.

5. Identify included and excluded courses provided by the buyer in a GPA recalculation
6. Identify missing courses provided by the buyer by course type and provide reports
7. Recalculate GPA based on a weighting scale provided by the buyer
8. Translate GPA into an index based on the buyer's requirements
9. Have a training and learning interface for the buyer so that the buyer can:
a. Train the AI on new rule sets for identifying and classifying data b. Examine any errors that occur in reading the transcript to retrain the AI
