Full Function Catalogue — every capability, numbered

The complete, line-by-line specification of the EduSquares platform for colleges. Each function carries a stable ID for RFP responses and compliance matrices. Every F-numbered function is standard, live product; the roadmap is published — and short. Prefer the guided five-minute read? Open the Spec Sheet edition.

Every F-numbered function is standard, included, and in production today — there is no optional-module matrix to negotiate. The development roadmap is published separately below (R-numbered) and kept deliberately short: nothing lives in between. All IDs are stable and may be cited in RFP responses.
