Why this score?
Fair Value is a Degreeli Value Score v1 directional read based on modeled cost ($84,580), estimated debt ($52,440), early-career salary ($74,907), 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.
