Illustrative Case Studies
Hypothetical planning scenarios for universities considering Aelira. Each one needs real-file testing, human review, and institution-specific measurements.
Note: These are hypothetical scenarios. Names, quotes, numbers, and outcomes are illustrative, not real Aelira customers or actual results.
Scenario values are assumptions for discussion, not measured time savings, conformance rates, or customer results.Review current product evidence.
Large Public University: An Illustrative STEM Remediation Plan
A hypothetical 25,000-student institution tests a bounded STEM document workflow, with human review and unresolved work tracked.
Illustrative: "We would test the LaTeX workflow against our course files and review the saved output before publication."

Small Liberal Arts College: A Bounded Remediation Scenario
2,000 students, 150 courses, one IT staff member. An illustrative plan for using a $1,499/month department service with human review.
Illustrative: "Transparent pricing could help us plan a bounded workflow, with review and unresolved work included in our budget."

Blind Astrophysicist: Making Research Accessible to Students
How a blind PhD researcher could use Aelira's terminal-based CLI to make astrophysics research accessible. LaTeX to MathML, screen-reader friendly outputs.
Illustrative: "LaTeX source is accessible. The problem is making the OUTPUT accessible to students."

Outcomes These Scenarios Illustrate
Labor to Measure
Time savings are a hypothesis. Measure scanning, review, manual fixes, and publication on your own files.
Planned Review Milestone
Set a milestone to review sampled files and record residual barriers. Do not infer legal conformance from automated scores.
Costs to Compare
Compare quoted fees, staff time, processing allowances, and unresolved work using actual institutional data.
LaTeX/STEM Support
Evaluate supported LaTeX source and MathML outputs, including complex packages, with subject experts and assistive technology.
Faculty Adoption
IT handles bulk processing; faculty don't need to change their workflows.
Privacy-First
A fully local configuration can keep document content within institution-controlled infrastructure. Verify configured providers, fallbacks, outbound network access, logs, caches, and backups before making a privacy commitment.
