Why this score?

Caution Zone is a Degreeli Value Score v1 directional read based on modeled cost ($78,128), estimated debt ($48,439), early-career salary ($61,615), payback, completion, and review signals. The strongest signal is that cost looks efficient relative to expected early-career pay. The main caution is that graduate review signal is limited or modeled. 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

Graduate review signal is limited or modeled.
