A practical way to decide

01

Start with the task

Choose the tool that matches the research decision or piece of work in front of you.

02

Consider the time horizon

A once-off or project option may suit a defined task. A monthly or Complete plan supports ongoing work.

03

Keep responsibility clear

GradGuide supports your thinking. You remain responsible for authorship, academic integrity and institutional requirements.

Same research. A brighter tomorrow.
