Why this score?
Caution Zone is a Degreeli Value Score v1 directional read based on modeled cost ($106,276), estimated debt ($65,891), early-career salary ($72,860), 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
Cost looks efficient relative to expected early-career pay.
Risks
Payback could take longer than many families expect.
Completion or outcome confidence needs more scrutiny.
Graduate review signal is limited or modeled.
