3.5
8.5
Tuition & billing1.1×
Contracts, deposits, tuition plans, or student-account collections in the same product — not only a “won” stage.
2.0
8.5
Retention & re-enrollment1.1×
Student success, attrition risk, or re-enrollment for current families — not only prospecting new applicants.
4.0
8.0
Family outreach0.9×
Native SMS or messaging inbox on the candidate or family record, with team history. WhatsApp Business API also counts. Email-only, portal-only, and school apps do not.

Price and transparency0.8×
