Five years of federal IPEDS data, across more than 4,000 US institutions, already exists. Graduation rates, net price, enrollment, equity gaps, and program completions, available for your school and every peer you'd want to compare against.
Almost nobody has the bandwidth to actually use it. Pulling a real benchmarking analysis out of IPEDS means knowing the dataset, knowing SQL, and having a couple of weeks to spare. Most enrollment offices have none of the three.
Ask it anything, in plain English
The IPEDS agent is primed with five years of that data and knows how to work it. Ask a question the way you'd ask a colleague, about completions, enrollment composition, program risk, or whatever's on your mind. It runs the analysis, builds the charts in the conversation, and benchmarks you against a peer set it constructs on the fly.
A request that used to be a two-week ask of an analyst you don't have is now one question.
It doesn't stop at the headline number
Ask it something straightforward and it won't just hand back the top-line figure. It'll go looking for the layer underneath that actually explains it. A clean enrollment-growth number can be hiding a shift from full-time to part-time students; a flat-looking program can be quietly gaining or losing ground against the national market the moment you benchmark it.
Delivered where your leadership already looks
Once you've got the analysis, the agent can package it into a brief (strengths, risks, peer benchmarks) and put it on a schedule, so it lands in your provost's or VP's inbox automatically instead of depending on someone remembering to run it.
