college_value_score
ActiveTool of io.github.blackboxfoundry/livedatalink
One-call 'is this degree worth the cost' read for a US college (and optionally a named program). Joins the College Scorecard / IPEDS education domain (average net price, six-year completion rate, median earnings ten years after entry, and - when a program is named - program-level median debt and 1-year earnings) with a keyless BLS wage context (CES average hourly earnings, annualized) to place those earnings against the broad US private-sector wage. Returns a plain read - STRONG VALUE / FAIR / WEAK VALUE / INSUFFICIENT DATA - with the cost-vs-earnings evidence itemized and each sub-signal scored. A source that fails is noted, not fatal. Premium cross-source synthesis; Scorecard earnings cover federally-aided students only and lag by years. Informational only, not admissions, financial, or career advice.
