Product marketing — translating counselor workflows into clear guidance.
Transcripts, documents, and college outreach workflows belong in your system of record. Strategic list planning — balance, categorization, and iteration — benefits from a dedicated workspace students can run repeatedly without waiting on office hours.
The clearest rollout message is additive: Nothing about your existing process goes away; you gain a faster feedback loop for list decisions. That reduces turf confusion and helps teachers and parents understand why two tools can coexist.
Training is simplest when you show one end-to-end loop: build a list, read the grade, adjust, then execute application tasks in the platform your school already uses.
