SME Bottlenecks
Your SMEs have the knowledge. They don't have 15 hours a week to format pages in an LMS.
How we handle it: Structured review sessions, 1 to 2 hours per batch. Their expertise gets in. Their calendar stays intact.
Your course catalog, delivered. On time. On budget. On standard.
Tamitu inventories what you have, locks standards, and ships clean LMS-ready batches with QA evidence, so a small team can hit a fixed launch date without building an internal department.
Best fit: 20+ courses hard deadline small team
We finish the catalog. We do not leave a strategy deck behind.
When Catalogs Stall
Course catalogs break in predictable ways
These are the failure patterns that show up when course volume outruns standards, QA, and SME bandwidth.
Inconsistent Courses
Six people, four years, zero shared standards. Every course looks and works differently.
How we handle it: Templates and rules locked before production starts. Consistency is documented, not aspirational.
Launch-Week Chaos
Broken LTI links, missing files, wrong publish states. Found on Friday before Monday go-live.
How we handle it: Verified batches with QA evidence before delivery. Launch week is for learners, not repairs.
How Delivery Works
The Course Factory: how large catalogs get finished
We inventory the catalog, lock templates and rules, prove the workflow on a pilot, then ship weekly reviewed batches with QA evidence and sign-off.
01
Inventory + Complexity Scoring
We catalog what you actually have, what's missing, and what needs the most attention, so scope and pricing are based on your real catalog, not estimates.
- Inventory every course and asset
- Tag complexity (Light / Standard / Heavy)
- Surface integrations, risks, and owners
02
Lock Standards (Templates + Rules)
When every course is built differently, quality drifts. We lock templates and rules so production is consistent across your entire catalog.
- Choose 1-2 templates
- Define navigation + naming rules
- Set written acceptance criteria + review rules
03
Pilot: Prove the Process
We prove the process on a small batch first, typically 3-5 courses, before scaling. You see the quality, the timeline, and the verification artifacts before committing to the full run.
- Pilot 3-5 courses
- Verify quality and timeline on a real batch
- Tune automation rules before scale
04
Deliver in Batches + Verify Each One
Every batch comes with verification: QA evidence, documented exceptions, and a clean handoff.
- Deliver in batches of 25-50 courses
- Verify against a QA checklist
- Provide an evidence pack + exception log per batch
Why It Holds
How you get speed, quality, and cost-control at the same time
The leverage comes from templates, automation, and batch QA. That replaces brute-force staffing and late-stage cleanup.
Speed
Inventory and standards lock happen first; then production runs in parallel batches instead of one course at a time.
- Pilot proves velocity before full commitment
- Batches of 25 to 50 courses on a weekly review cadence
Quality
Quality at scale requires verification built into the process, not bolted on at the end.
- Verification checklist applied against written acceptance criteria
- Categorized exceptions with assigned owners and next steps
Cost-Control
Locked templates and automation rules mean the same standard is applied to course 1 and course 150 without proportional labor scaling.
- Template-driven automation replaces manual per-course labor
- Fixed-price engagement scoped after inventory, not estimated
Engagement Models
Choose the engagement that matches the job
Start by scoping the catalog, move into batch delivery, or keep the catalog on standard after launch.
Blueprint Sprint (2 weeks)
This is the decision point: quality, timeline, and price confirmed before committing to anything larger.
- Course-by-course inventory with complexity scoring (Light / Standard / Heavy)
- 3 to 5 pilot courses built and delivered into your LMS
- Locked delivery plan: batch schedule, standards, fixed price
- Written acceptance criteria and a clear go/no-go decision
- Starts at $2,500
- Catalog audit and course inventory
- Written acceptance criteria and scope document
- Standards alignment map (QM rubric)
- Go/no-go recommendation with timeline
Course Factory Sprint (4-8 weeks)
The full production engagement: your catalog built, converted, or standardized and delivered into your LMS on a fixed weekly schedule.
- Batches of 25 to 50 courses with weekly review cadence
- Standards enforcement (templates, naming, navigation) across every course
- Tamitu Verified QA Evidence Pack + categorized exception log per batch. Tamitu Verified is our internal QA standard, applied to every deliverable before it ships.
- 30-day warranty window for defects within acceptance criteria
- Starts at $9,500
- QA evidence included as standard, not billed as an add-on.
- 25 to 50 production-ready courses in your LMS
- Tamitu Verified QA Evidence Pack per batch
- Categorized exception log
- 30-day post-delivery warranty window
Course Ops Partner (retainer)
After the catalog ships, it still needs to be maintained. The retainer gives you standing capacity without rehiring or re-scoping every semester.
- Term rollover + due date alignment + quality checks each cycle
- Ongoing QA scans + prioritized maintenance backlog
- Standards governance (template updates + change approvals)
- Monthly status report: what changed, what is at risk, what is next
- Monthly retainer, scoped to catalog size. Pricing on request.
- Ongoing course maintenance and updates
- Continuous QA monitoring
- Single accountable lead for all deliverables
What You Can Inspect
The paper trail behind every batch
Every batch leaves documentation your project lead, procurement team, or replacement vendor can review without guessing what happened.
QA Evidence Pack
Every batch includes the checklist, exception log, and screenshots that answer "What exactly was checked?" Documentation is formatted to support institutional accreditation reviews including HLC, ABHES, ACCSC, COE, and regional accreditation bodies.
Review the sample pack →Fixed Scope and Written Acceptance Criteria
Before work starts, scope, acceptance criteria, and review rules are written down. If the work changes, the paperwork changes too.
Warranty Window
If something inside the agreed acceptance criteria breaks during the warranty window, it gets fixed without a second negotiation. The window and terms are defined in the SOW before work begins.
Named client reference
Abaci Health: 5 dental radiography licensure courses
Built 5 dental radiography licensure and exam prep courses for Abaci Health on Canvas LMS, aligned to DANB RHS requirements. Courses covered state-certified dental radiology compliance requirements for dental assistants pursuing certification nationwide. Source materials came from licensed dental professional SMEs with no prior course development experience.
Produced with Foundry. The final three courses were built through Foundry, Tamitu's automated production pipeline. Course assembly, template application, and LMS publishing handled programmatically, reducing manual publishing and QA tracking steps significantly compared to traditional manual builds.

Tamitu's proprietary production pipeline handles course assembly, template application, and LMS publishing programmatically across Canvas LMS, Blackboard, Moodle, MHE Connect, Cengage MindTap, and Elsevier. Most vendors are single-platform. Foundry is not. Proven on live client work: the final three Abaci courses were built through Foundry.
Who You'll Work With
Braden Riggins
Founder, Tamitu Solutions LLC (SBA-classified small business)
I've spent 6+ years building and managing courses inside enterprise LMS environments at WGU, The College of Health Care Professions (CHCP), and Abaci Dental Solutions. At a healthcare career college, overhauling multiple online programs produced a 28% increase in student retention and a 34% reduction in course development timelines. I started Tamitu because too many teams get trapped between "this catalog has to be done" and "we do not have the capacity to do it right."
The Course Factory is the operating model: inventory, standards, batch delivery, and QA evidence. The last three Abaci courses were built using Foundry, Tamitu's automated production pipeline, which handles assembly and publishing programmatically across Canvas LMS, Blackboard, Moodle, MHE Connect, Cengage MindTap, and Elsevier. If you book a call, you're speaking with the person who scopes the work and stays accountable for delivery.

Questions
Questions buyers ask before they hand over a catalog
Straight answers on fit, pricing, speed, security, and accountability.
Who is this a fit for?
Organizations with 20+ courses, a real deadline, and too little internal capacity to cleanly build, convert, or standardize the catalog. If the work is stalled by inconsistent courses, SME bottlenecks, or launch risk, this is the fit.
How fast can you deliver?
Blueprint Sprints take 2 weeks. Factory Sprints usually run 4-8 weeks, with weekly reviewed batches sized to your course count and complexity mix.
What does this cost?
Blueprint Sprints start at $2,500. Factory Sprints start at $9,500 and are fixed-price after inventory and complexity scoring, so you know the scope, acceptance criteria, and price before production starts. Engagements can be structured to align with grant-funded project timelines, budget periods, and deliverable reporting requirements.
What makes you different from other consultants?
We are hired to finish the catalog, not leave a strategy deck behind. You get courses in the LMS, written acceptance criteria, batch-level QA evidence, and one accountable lead for scope and sign-off.
What do we actually get delivered?
You get production-ready courses inside your LMS, plus the materials that make delivery auditable: templates and standards, QA checklists, exception logs, and a QA Evidence Pack for each batch. If the scope includes job aids, assessments, or supporting docs, those are delivered under the same acceptance criteria.
What is Tamitu Verified?
Tamitu Verified is the quality standard applied to every course we deliver. The framework maps each course through four verification layers: alignment, standards compliance, content integrity, and delivery checks. Criteria are aligned to Quality Matters (QM) rubric standards. Every batch ships with a QA Evidence Pack produced against this framework.
Who does the work?
The Tamitu team delivers every engagement. One accountable lead stays on scope, delivery, and sign-off throughout.
We've tried improving our training before. Why would this be different?
Because the work is staged to survive real-world constraints. We lock standards, prove the process on a pilot batch, then deliver in waves with written acceptance criteria, change control, and visible QA evidence.
What LMS platforms do you support?
We have direct experience in Canvas LMS, Blackboard, and Moodle. Foundry, our automated production pipeline, also supports MHE Connect, Cengage MindTap, and Elsevier. If your platform is not listed, ask on the fit call and we will give you an honest answer about our depth.
How do you handle FERPA and student data?
Our work is centered on course content and structure, not student records, grades, or enrollment data. We do not access FERPA-protected information in the normal course of an engagement, and any exception is documented in the SOW and limited to the minimum necessary. We can operate under your institution's FERPA-designated vendor framework. See our security and data handling page for details.
Do you use AI in your process?
Yes, in controlled parts of the workflow such as drafting support, QA checks, and repetitive LMS operations. The Tamitu team reviews every AI-assisted deliverable before it reaches your LMS, and we work within your institution's AI policy.
Can you work with our security and procurement requirements?
Yes. NDA, DPA, security questionnaire responses, W-9, and certificate of insurance are available. We prefer client-owned accounts, use least-privilege access, require MFA where supported, and document offboarding at closeout. Our security and data handling practices are documented and ready for review.
