PhdFit doesn't hand you an opaque fit number. Every faculty match is ranked across five readable axes — so you can see where the fit is strong, where it's soft, and where to push back.
The Candidate Analyst reads your résumé and extracts research interests, methods, publications, and trajectory.
The Professor Researcher indexes 40k+ faculty pages, recent papers, and recruiting signals.
Each candidate is scored on topic, method, trajectory, open seats, and certainty — not one number, five.
The Match Explainer writes the reasoning chain for every match so you can argue with it in chat and re-rank.
Does the professor work on the problems you want to work on?
Paper abstracts and keywords for the last three years, matched against the interests parsed from your résumé plus anything you tell the agent in chat.
Default — even weights across axes.
When you know your exact area and care most about topic & method overlap.
When you'd rather learn a new topic with tools you already own.
When you're optimising for open seats and recruitment likelihood.
Compare professors, draft outreach, rehearse the interview, and walk into the meeting with the same evidence—not four disconnected tools.
