Under the hood

ML models + calibration layers, not a ChatGPT wrapper.

01

Admit-probability regression (per school, per round)

Trained on top-30 cycle outcomes, returns RD, ED, and EA probabilities calibrated to CDS.

02

Profile-score rubric

Initiative, EC impact, and spike domain scored 0 to 100, fed back into the regression.

03

Mechanical tier assignment

Reach, Match, and Safety derived from ML probability plus the school's 25th and 75th percentile bands.

04

Counselor-curated archetype guidance

Pool-pattern guidance matched by archetype and injected as context, not improvised.

05

ED-leverage scoring

Ratio of ED to RD probability flags ED candidates above 2x and ED-redundant below 1.5x.
