The idea
A Folio for universities, writing centers, and research departments. The institution gets its own branded site, decides who can get in, and runs it from one admin console, with one agreement for the whole institution. Students and researchers get access through their institution, the same way they access journal databases or writing labs.
Why it matters
Academic institutions already pay for writing and research tools. An institution-wide Folio gives every student and researcher the same workspace for sources, citations and verifiable authorship, without the friction of individual sign-ups and payments. For writing centers, it means being able to recommend a single tool that covers the whole workflow.
Where we are
This feature shipped. Institutions run on their own branded subdomain with membership-based access, an admin console, and per-role feature entitlements. Pricing is public for standalone programs and quoted per institution for schools and universities, never per seat; see institution pricing.
On the AI side: staff and admins get AI assistance, Folio Review and Research Radar through the institution when the administrator turns those on, whatever their personal plan. Students' AI allowances come from their own personal Folio plan.
