Why this score?
Caution Zone is a Degreeli Value Score v1 directional read based on modeled cost ($67,112), estimated debt ($34,898), early-career salary ($49,990), 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.
The Degreeli Value Score is directional, not a guarantee of salary, employment, or personal financial outcome.
