Why this score?
Caution Zone is a Degreeli Value Score v1 directional read based on modeled cost ($102,480), estimated debt ($63,538), early-career salary ($73,765), payback, completion, and review signals. The strongest signal is that cost looks efficient relative to expected early-career pay. The main caution is that payback could take longer than many families expect. Data confidence is medium, so this should support comparison rather than act as a guarantee.
Strengths
Cost looks efficient relative to expected early-career pay.
Risks
