What you can ask

56 questions the assistant answers from federal data. Click one to ask it. Every figure it gives you comes from a tool call made in that conversation, not from memory.

These are the questions the assistant is warmed for, so they return immediately. Anything else works too — it just takes a moment longer while the model does the work.

The central finding

What the site argues, and how firmly.

The domestic pipeline

Whether America trains its own STEM talent, and what a degree pays.

Work visas

OPT, the H-1B cap and the routes around it.

After the degree

Green cards, and whether people stay.

Fields and programmes

Where the concentration actually sits.

Institutions

Individual universities and how they compare.

Public money

What federal funding buys, and for whom.

Visa mechanics

How the categories work.

The hard questions

Where the argument is weakest, asked plainly.

Method and limits

Sources, definitions, and what cannot be answered.

What it will not do

It will not give you a figure it cannot source, and it will say so rather than estimate. Three limits come up often: cap-exempt status is not published by USCIS, so no employer-level count of it exists; IPEDS counts degrees rather than people, so progression figures are ratios between two populations; and no federal source records graduate applications or admissions, so whether domestic applicants are declining, being declined, or not applying cannot be answered from published data.
