Truth-based PhD advisor matching —
PhDTake turns your application into a current of verified signal that flows through a connected intelligence network — scored against real advisors at real programs on a transparent 4.0 scale, with uncertainty shown, not hidden.
No signup. No server. Your API key stays in your browser.
Connection-first CAPEG scoring
Your advisor's network, lab pedigree, and letters are scored ahead of raw metrics — because that is how committees actually read applications. Signal flows to where it matters, not where it is easiest to count.
Evidence-cited research agent
A research agent reads primary sources for every candidate advisor. Every signal it uses is cited; anything it cannot verify is flagged, never invented — intelligence, not guesswork.
In-browser scoring engine
Missing or blocked sources widen the confidence band instead of being guessed, so rankings expose the lower bound. The engine itself runs in your browser (Python via Pyodide) — your data never leaves this device.
