Start with the question your benchmark needs to answer.

Criteria define the market.

The Comparable Set Workbench turns your planning brief into a ranked candidate set. Every inclusion traces back to the same practical criteria.

Credential form

Separate certificates, micro-credentials, diplomas, badges, and courses before they distort the comparison.

Delivery mode

Keep online, hybrid, and in-person offerings aligned to the learner experience you are planning.

Audience

Compare programs built for the same career stage, professional need, and learner profile.

Price and duration

Set practical ranges for cost and time so the final set reflects a credible market position.

A comparable set is built in three moves.

From intake brief to accountable evidence.

Keep the reasoning visible as the set moves from a broad market to the peers your team will use.

  1. 01

    Define

    Capture credential, delivery, audience, price, and duration in one intake brief.

  2. 02

    Review

    Inspect ranked candidates and their structured records in the Program Explorer.

  3. 03

    Compare

    Place the selected offerings side by side and make every material difference explicit.

Search and validation

Test the edges of the set.

Use semantic search to broaden discovery across topic, audience, and related language. Location, source platform, credential, and delivery filters bring the results back to the criteria in your brief.

Trends then places the selected peers inside direct-crawl market composition by province, category, credential type, skill facet, and price range.
