What it is
A decision aid, end to end source-cited.
Each value carries a source URL, a confidence level, and a verification date. When data is unavailable, the scorecard says so — never silently filled with zero.
What it is not
- · Not an official academic ranking.
- · Not a measure of teaching or research output.
- · Not aggregated student reviews.
- · No LinkedIn or alumni profile scraping. Career data, when used, is manual, aggregate, anonymised, and clearly marked beta.
