Important considerations

  • Cookie duration was not established for either programme in the accessed sources; it cannot support a preference.
  • Do not compare a top-tier rate on one side with entry terms on the other.
  • Choose a realistic time horizon and investigate the missing terms before committing promotional work.

Model your assumptions

The calculators compare your inputs. They do not declare a programme winner or model retention and tier progression.
