q2 · i? · theoretical · r3

The paper's review of the GPS Advising deployment, which tracks more than 40,000 undergraduates daily against roughly 800 risk factors, reports institution-reported outcomes. The system prompted more than 250,000 advisor meetings; alerts led to human contact within about 48 hours. No effect sizes are printed.

"Georgia State reports that six-year graduation rates rose over the period and that graduation gaps by race, ethnicity, and income narrowed sharply, in some reports to near parity."
