Why this score?
Caution Zone is a Degreeli Value Score v1 directional read based on modeled cost ($140,052), estimated debt ($86,832), early-career salary ($98,053), 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

Earnings outlook is strong for a first-decade career path.
Risks
