Outcome fit
We begin with the buyer question: who should buy, who should skip, and what result the course can realistically support.
Workload and format
We compare the format before judging price. A cohort, self-paced course, mentor sprint, and workshop create different time demands and feedback paths.
Commercial checks
We call out refund terms, renewal traps, affiliate relationships, and cheaper alternatives. Affiliate revenue never changes the verdict.
