Operation Diploma is the command center for the college years — reach, target & safety lists, essays, deadlines, scholarships, and test scores. Built for the parent running the operation, and the students doing the work.
Forty-seven tabs, three spreadsheets, a shared Google Doc, and a paper planner. That's the average family's system. Replace it with a single source of truth that speaks parent and student fluently.
Reach, target, and safety — continuously rebalanced against GPA, test scores, ECs, and the admit rate math your counselor wishes she had time to run.
Every deadline for every school for every student, rolled into one calendar. Early Decision, regular, priority, FAFSA, CSS, merit aid — all on autopilot.
Every prompt, every draft, version-controlled. Share with a counselor; never lose a line.
Scholarship pipeline matched to your student, deadlines stacked, applications templated.
Net-price modeling across schools. Stop comparing sticker; start comparing what you'll actually owe.
Trained on admissions data, not vibes. Ask “should Hazen add a safety in the Midwest?” and get specific, defensible answers — with a link to the math.
Switch between students without switching apps. Hazen, Zoey, Isabella — each on their own timeline, all under one dashboard.

Recruiting profiles, NCAA eligibility tracking, and coach outreach templates — built alongside the academic side, not bolted on.
Course recommendations calibrated to target schools and intended major. AP, IB, dual-enroll — all mapped to what actually helps the application.
Track credits toward graduation across semesters. Catch the missing half-credit in October, not April of senior year.
No multi-thousand-dollar consultant. No fourteen-step onboarding. Just a process that works, tested across twelve thousand families.
Import transcripts, scores, activities, recs. One guided pass, fifteen minutes per student. The system learns your kid.
~ 15 minAI matching proposes a balanced portfolio — reach, target, safety. You argue with it, refine it, own it.
~ 45 minDeadlines on autopilot. Essays tracked. Aid modeled. You show up weekly; the system shows up every day.
~ senior yearParents need to see the forest. Students need to live in the trees. Operation Diploma gives each what they need, without making either ask for permission.
We're a small team of parents, former counselors, and engineers. We built Operation Diploma because we lived the spreadsheet chaos ourselves — and knew there had to be a better way.
Our oldest is a junior. We started building the tool we wished we had — and realized every family we talked to was running the same broken system of tabs, docs, and sticky notes. Operation Diploma is for them. And for us.
Early members get lifetime lock-in on current pricing, direct access to the team, and a voice in what we build next.
