your employees are using ai to finish their degrees.
Are you sure it's going well?
Graduate Exec Pathway (GEP) by Ask Marj is the Completion Layer™ for corporate tuition assistance programs — protecting your investment by ensuring sponsored employees finish advanced degrees on time, with integrity, and with defensible, human-verified research.
Turning educational spend into certified leadership assets.
Corporate tuition reimbursement is a strategic investment in your leadership pipeline — but a quiet leak is draining it.
When high-potential employees hit the research and writing phase of their capstone or dissertation, two things happen: corporate deadlines crowd out academic deadlines, and AI fills the gap. The result is hallucinated citations, compromised academic integrity, and failed final projects.
The organization doesn't just lose the tuition investment — it loses the credentialed leader it was building. This is the Completion Gap, and it is stalling your best talent.
The GEP Completion Layer delivers three things
Research Architecture
Librarian-led sourcing from peer-reviewed databases (EBSCO, ProQuest, Gale). No grey literature. Human-verified citations, every time.
Academic Project Management
Milestone tracking aligned to the academic calendar AND corporate QBR schedules. Academic deadlines never get buried under corporate deliverables.
AI Whispering (HITM)
Human-in-the-Middle oversight of all AI-assisted research. We don't ban AI — we verify it. Citation auditing, hallucination detection, and editorial integrity review. Every session.
GEP partners with corporations and organizations that fund advanced degrees — protecting their investment by ensuring sponsored employees finish strong.
