Most application advice looks at one piece at a time: this essay, that school. The Strategy Advisor looks at everything together, your list, your deadlines, your profile, and writes you a brief on where you stand and what to do next.
How a brief works
Open Strategy Advisor from the sidebar and request a brief. The AI reads your college list balance, upcoming deadlines, and progress, then gives you a prioritized read: where your list is lopsided, what is at risk of slipping, and which moves matter most this week.
How often you can run it
Free accounts get 2 briefs per day, and Pro raises that to 10. Since your situation does not change hourly, a brief in the morning and one after a work session is usually plenty.
A brief is a second opinion, not a verdict. It is good at spotting imbalances and slipping deadlines; you and the people who know you still make the calls.
