PAGS vs Provision Map

Provision Map tracks the plan.
‍PAGS builds it, and the EHCP evidence behind it.

Provision Map is a well-established tool for planning and tracking interventions. It doesn't include an assessment, AI-generated targets, or EHCP automation. PAGS starts with a UCL-validated assessment and carries the same data through targets, provision mapping, and a self-building EHCP Application Pack.

↗PAGS isn't a bigger Provision Map. It's the assessment, targets, provision mapping and EHCP evidence Provision Map assumes you already have.

Five questions schools ask when comparing

Why schools choose PAGS over Provision Map.

Provision Map does one part of the SEND workflow well. Here's what it doesn't cover, and how PAGS fills the gap.

What does the assessment actually measure?

Provision Map: starts from a teacher-identified need. No built-in assessment.

PAGS adds: a UCL-validated digital assessment across 4 developmental domains, the evidence base for everything downstream.

Who builds the EHCP evidence?

Provision Map: manual compilation from provision records.

PAGS adds: an EHCP Application Pack generated automatically from assessment and intervention history.

What does it cost, all in?

Provision Map: from £795/yr primary, £995/yr secondary, plus £120/yr for MIS integration.

PAGS adds: one flat fee from £1,300/yr primary, £1,700/yr secondary. MIS integration included, no per-module extras.

Does it use AI?

Provision Map: no AI features.

PAGS adds: AI-suggested targets and EHCP document extraction, built in.

Can parents see the plan?

Provision Map: not part of the core product.
