Why this score?
Caution Zone is a Degreeli Value Score v1 directional read based on modeled cost ($75,812), estimated debt ($47,003), early-career salary ($68,315), payback, completion, and review signals. The strongest signal is that cost looks efficient relative to expected early-career pay. The main caution is that completion or outcome confidence needs more scrutiny. Data confidence is medium, so this should support comparison rather than act as a guarantee.
Strengths
