What this tool evaluates

Built for the education decision
before you commit.

Education is one of the most expensive decisions you'll make — in time, money, and opportunity cost. This tool helps you evaluate any program against 12 weighted areas so you go in with eyes open.

🎯
Program Fit
Does this program actually develop the skills and knowledge you need?
💰
Financial Viability
What does this cost — and what's the realistic return?
🏛️
Institution Quality
Does the school's reputation and resources serve your goals?
🌐
Network & Community
Who will you meet, and will those relationships matter?
⏱️
Time & Flexibility
Does the format work with the rest of your life?
🚀
Career Impact
Does this genuinely open the doors you need opened?
🎓 12 weighted life areas · Two reflection prompts each
"What specific outcome do you need from this educational path — and is this the best route?"
"What would you do if this program didn't exist — and what does that tell you?"
How it works

Four steps to clarity
on education & school.

This tool runs a four-step weighted framework — calibrated with reflection questions specific to education & school.

01
Set your weights
Tell it how much each life area matters to you. The defaults are calibrated — adjust them to match your reality.
02
Ground yourself
Answer two reflection prompts per area with real examples. This is what makes scoring meaningful rather than abstract.
03
Score the option
Rate how well the option supports each area. Your reflections appear as reminders. Add notes for your reasoning.
04
See the truth
Get a weighted score, critical miss alerts, real strengths, and four closing questions that cut through what the numbers miss.

⚖️

Weighted scoring

Areas multiply by their importance tier — so a critical miss in a Very Important area carries real weight in the final score.
