q2 · i? · qualitative · r2
Case-study reporting of one cohort purchasing agreement during the 2024-2025 school year. The report prints the per-teacher prices and the total: "saving the district over $25,000 on Kahoot! licenses alone." No effect size is printed.
"One example from the 2024-2025 school year was Kahoot!, which costs $149.99 per teacher when schools purchase the tool. When the district went into 2024 negotiations with the provider for a bulk price, they agreed to $44.60 per teacher, saving the district over $25,000 on Kahoot! licenses alone."

- Districts' costs for using Ecree depend on implementation and support needs, and the price per student would likely be lower for larger districts — related
- Low-income adult learners have paid substantial prices for voluntary educational tools when the product demonstrably worked, as shown by Ingles Sin Barreras selling about 30,000 video sets for roughly $60 million in 2001 — related
- Denver Public Schools' cross-functional AI-edtech review cut its edtech portfolio from over 1,000 tools to fewer than 350 while saving millions of dollars — a broader claim this one bears on
