the mess

your data lives here. and here. and here.

Each week looks like this on paper. Fragments in five different places, none of them talking to each other.

The data exists. The connection doesn't.

The structure is the point. Once the data has shape — course, date, weight, prereq — it can answer questions across semesters. What was scattered across five places is now queryable in one.

your degree, queryable.

ask in plain english. synapse answers from your graph.

the log
