Scoring methodology

Programmes are tagged by their own data with the personas they fit. We then add weighting based on persona-specific criteria (income threshold, family inclusion, citizenship timeline, processing speed, presence requirements). Score is a heuristic for ranking — not a recommendation. Each programme's detail page has the full sourced facts.
