Roadmap
What we're building, in the open
This is order of work, not a promise of dates. Academies on ChessCore shape this list directly: what they ask for moves up.

- LiveReports
Franchise analytics
Cross-branch reports, head-office templates and franchise fee agreements for a multi-branch group.

Recording, transcripts and summaries are live.
Deepening the core
Work in progress on the workflows academies use every day.
- In progressWhatsApp
Parent actions inside WhatsApp
Planned: pay a fee, confirm attendance or request a make-up from the WhatsApp message itself, without opening the portal. The guardian portal, which needs a login, stays the place for everything else.
- In progressClasses
Zoom bring-your-own-account
Today a coach pastes a Zoom or Google Meet link into a class, and ChessCore generates neither link. Planned: connect your own Zoom account so classes are scheduled there, alongside the built-in classroom.
The competitive layer
The features that turn an academy's community into its retention engine.
- NextClasses
Searchable recording library and absentee sharing
Recording, transcripts and summaries are live. Next, search across past classes and sharing with absentees.
- NextEvents
Clubs and ladders
Ongoing ladder competition and club structure inside the academy.
Enterprise and scale
For multi-branch operations, schools, and franchises.
- LaterInfrastructure
Dedicated tenancy and data residency
Isolated infrastructure and regional data hosting options.
