DetermiNext gives teachers and students a clear path from assessment to plan, with reports built for life after high school.
DetermiNext runs the assessment, handles the career matching, and generates the plan. Teachers stay focused on students.
A guided 20-question wizard captures each student's Preferences, Interests, Needs, and Strengths, entirely at their own pace.
Gemini AI maps each student's PINS profile to the RIASEC framework and surfaces career pathways that genuinely fit who they are.
One assessment produces two outputs: an engaging student career guide and a compliance-ready IEP transition plan for the educator.
Every assessment starts with the PINS framework: Preferences, Interests, Needs, and Strengths. Together, they give a real picture of who the student is.
What the student prefers in learning environments, activities, and day-to-day interactions.
Areas that naturally engage and motivate the student — the starting point for meaningful career alignment.
Supports required for success in school and beyond — framed around what helps the student thrive.
Academic, social, and functional abilities — the foundation for building a confident, self-determined future.
Once the assessment is done, DetermiNext maps each student's PINS profile to the RIASEC framework (Holland Codes) to find the career pathways that fit them best.

After the assessment, Gemini AI analyzes the PINS and RIASEC data together. It writes the goals, identifies the transition services, and structures the plan.
Connects PINS results to matched career pathways
Finds patterns across the student's full profile
Generates Measurable Postsecondary Goals (MPGs) tailored to the student
Recommends appropriate transition services to support goal attainment
One assessment produces two reports. One for the student to keep. One for the IEP.
For Students
Written for students. Easy to read, personal to them, and focused on what comes next.
For Educators
Everything a teacher needs for Indicator 13, already structured and ready to use.
From the student entering their code to the teacher downloading the plan. Six steps, nothing falls through.
Students complete the PINS-based digital wizard at their own pace. No login required, just a code from their teacher.
Responses are scored and mapped using the validated Holland Codes model to find each student's career type.
Gemini AI interprets the combined PINS + RIASEC data, finding patterns and meaningful insights for each student.
Career pathways are matched to the student's profile. The teacher and student review and choose.
Measurable Postsecondary Goals (MPGs) and transition services are automatically generated from the analysis.
Two reports are produced instantly: a career guide for the student and an IEP-ready document for the teacher.
Special ed teachers shouldn't have to choose between a plan that engages the student and one that satisfies compliance. DetermiNext does both.
Focuses on strengths, preferences, and needs. Not just academic performance.
Uses the PINS and RIASEC frameworks plus AI to find what actually fits each student.
Designed around Indicator 13. The documentation is structured for IEP compliance from day one.
Reduces time spent on paperwork while improving the quality and accuracy of transition plans.
