Help El Camino counselors start with the student’s plan already organized.
Students confirm coursework, destination, and major before the conversation. DegreeLume prepares the cited plan and review questions; El Camino counselors keep exceptions, policy, and official decisions.
Start with the work a counselor would otherwise have to reconstruct.
Time-saving use cases—not a savings claim. These workflows exist in the product. Any minutes or capacity gained should be measured against El Camino’s real advising baseline during an evaluation the college defines.
Time saved must be measured. These use cases are working product flows, not a savings claim for El Camino.
Before the appointment
Arrive with the student’s planning context assembled
The student confirms the college, destination, major, and completed or in-progress courses. DegreeLume organizes those inputs into a source-linked planning view.
Prepares course reconstruction and the first requirement check.
During the appointment
Begin with exceptions and decisions—not a blank page
Requirement results open to their catalog or ASSIST source, while incomplete evidence and unknowns stay visible as questions for the counselor.
Keeps the conversation focused on judgment, tradeoffs, and next actions.
Between appointments
Let the plan carry context forward
Students can return to the plan, update coursework, and re-run it when their major or destination changes instead of starting over from memory.
Preserves the planning context for the next conversation.
Across a caseload
See who needs human attention first
The public advisor demo uses fictional students to show needs-action, watch, and on-track groupings alongside next actions and appointment notes.
Supports triage and preparation; counselors retain outreach decisions.

Agreement: 2025-2026 · source questions need clarification
Review the work that requires campus expertise.
DegreeLume can expose its source trail. It cannot replace the institutional knowledge needed to decide whether that trail is complete, correctly interpreted, and useful in practice.
Check the campus catalog rows
Confirm sampled El Camino codes, titles, units, renumbering, and Cal-GETC area treatment against the edition the college considers authoritative.
Check the articulation interpretation
Review sampled ASSIST rows, including complete-all sequences, alternatives, unarticulated receiving courses, and anything the engine leaves for counselor review.
Check the advisor workflow
Decide whether the source-linked view surfaces useful exceptions and questions without encroaching on counselor authority or official education plans.
Open the same sources we used.
Decide whether these counselor use cases are worth evaluating.
Review the working advisor flow, validate the source snapshot, and choose which—if any—workflow questions matter to El Camino. This public review does not request El Camino’s student records.
Evaluation format, scope, participants, timeline, and data approach remain the college’s decision.
