How it works
You answer a few simple questions. No digging. No complex spreadsheets. The calculator does the rest.
What the calculator reveals
Four metrics that turn interview prep from a line item into a measurable operation. Each one maps to a number your leadership team can act on.
Current Prep Cost
How much is your team actually spending on mock interviews, coaching sessions, and remediation? The calculator totals the real cost of your current interview prep operation — most teams underestimate it by 2–3x.
Stop counting sessions. Start measuring outcomes.

What this is really about
Interview prep isn't just a student problem — it's a program operations question. Every hour an advisor spends running mock interviews is an hour they can't spend advising new learners. Every learner who isn't interview-ready is a placement that could slip.
