The one genuinely program-level signal we can verify today is whether the program is listed officially. The rest is the school's transparency, inherited and labelled.

Each verified outcome is scored 0-100 against the range its peers actually publish, then blended by weight. Concordia University publishes 2 of 3 verified metrics; missing metrics earn zero rather than increasing the weight of the available ones.

   88%: first-year retention

   scaled within the 80-95% range across the 15 peers that publish it → 53/100, weighted 30%
