Audited planning profile
This lean three-year profile applies a 0.75× editable baseline across 36 model periods to the thesis writing buffer model.
Use the buffered result for planning and the unbuffered result as the transparent baseline. Treat the lean scale as a lower-bound plan and test whether essential fixed costs still fit. Run an adverse case for inflation, downtime and changing demand over three years.
Institution grading rules, accreditation, admission criteria, learning differences and future fee changes are not inferred.
Check the institution handbook, course calendar and your measured study pace.
