Inquiry-to-enroll pipeline — campus visit, application, review, and decision — without a parallel spreadsheet.
8.5
8.0
Tuition & billing1.1×

8.5
5.0
Retention & re-enrollment1.1×
Student success, attrition risk, or re-enrollment for current families — not only prospecting new applicants.

Family outreach0.9×

Price and transparency0.8×
Public plan in USD, trial, and what sits outside the annual license. Opaque institutional quotes lower the score.
