About Gray DI
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Gray DI is a data and software firm that provides the only complete academic Program Evaluation System (PES) to help higher education institutions make data-informed growth decisions.

PES is a data-driven platform that helps universities assess the financial health, student demand, and job market outcomes of their academic programs.

Our enrollment data is up-to-date through the most current semester. That is three-to-five years more recent than competitors’ information, which relies on IPEDS completions data and reflects the majors that students chose three-to-five years before completion.

We correct IPEDS errors by placing online completions in the markets where students actually live, rather than just at the institution’s headquarters. This provides a more accurate view of local student demand.

Our PES Predict module uses a machine-learning model to estimate potential enrollment for new programs with over 90 percent accuracy, significantly reducing the financial risk of new launches.

CoCo is an AI success suite that provides 24/7 personalized tutoring, career guidance, and communication practice for students. Our tutoring software is grounded in the institution’s curriculum, while career guidance is based on data from 30 million alumni profiles.

We provide daily office hours and one-on-one support with higher education industry veterans, as well as 24/7 AI-enabled technical assistance.
