The PROOF Framework™
Every Yaldis file is reviewed across five areas that most often decide whether an application succeeds. Select a letter to see what we check.
P · Progression
Does your study plan make sense?
We check that your previous degree, work experience and chosen course connect clearly. This is the most common reason credibility is questioned.
- Link between past study and the new course
- Career gaps and changes explained
- A statement of purpose that tells one clear story
Your CAS-Ready Index, scored out of 100
Each area is scored and combined into one clear number. You see your score and every issue we find before you decide on any paid service, so you always know exactly what you are paying to fix.
