Real Results from Real Users
Trusted by lecturers and students across Sri Lankan universities
"We used to spend hours manually comparing mentor profiles in spreadsheets. This tool generates a structured weighted report in under 5 minutes. The pros and cons breakdown is particularly useful for advising conversations."
"The ability to adjust importance weights for each criterion is what sets this apart. For PhD students, we weight field alignment highest. For career changers, career goal match becomes the priority. Really flexible."
"Clean, fast, and genuinely useful. Our mentorship programme had no formal matching system before — now we use this for every new cohort. The CSV export plugs straight into our existing reporting workflow."
"The side-by-side comparison table makes it very easy to justify mentor assignments to students and parents. Having an objective score removes the subjectivity that previously caused disputes in our matching process."
