Product overview
SOSO is a web application for international higher-education discovery. The core loop is search → profile → decision support → official verification, with optional sign-in for returning users. The public discovery experience is accessible without a paywall.
What the product does
Global search & shortlisting
Explore universities by country with structured results grounded in the platform index—so discovery stays focused instead of random web crawling.
Institution intelligence
Profiles connect programs, context, and “what to verify next” cues so students can separate facts, incentives, and official requirements.
AI Match Studio
Goal-based prompts and match scoring help build reach / target / safe lists, with transparent reasoning and an emphasis on official next steps.
Trust by design
Official URLs, data freshness language, and explicit guardrails reduce mis-click risk in a space full of unverified listicles and recycled rankings.
