Compare
The same published measure, over time, for you and each peer. The CHESS Ranking reads 37 universities on ten dimensions.

Investigate
Courses and admissions, 81 source markets, jobs and skills by region, and the Intergenerational Report 2026, read for tertiary education.

Model
The Sector Scenario Lab (beta) applies an assumption you set, such as fewer international students, to each university’s published accounts and shows the result year by year. It illustrates the assumption; it is not a forecast.

Prepare
A board paper that opens in Word (beta), or a Market Intelligence deck in PowerPoint. Each figure carries its source and year.

A board paper the Edition wrote on 25 September 2026 for Eastbridge University, a fictional name standing in for a real Australian university. The figures are that university’s published data; only the name is changed.


A sample. Figures are the publisher’s latest and may since have been revised. The paper is a draft for review, not advice.
Open a shelf to see its apps, named as the Edition names them. Beta marks an app still being built out, preview one open to look at ahead of its full edition, and add-on an optional extra.

How scenarios workConnect program and faculty performance with student and employment demand.
Faculty and field pages read Australian universities today.
What you can investigateExamine research strengths, funding patterns and prospective partnerships.
Partner records come from ARC projects, 2002 to 2026, and NHMRC partnership projects from 2022.
What you can investigateCompare systems and institutions, investigate sector pressures and explore policy scenarios.
Descriptive comparisons. A scenario shows the effect of its assumptions, not the effect of a policy or law.
How scenarios workExamine skills demand, regional context and the provider measures available.
TAFE coverage is narrower than university coverage today.
How comparison worksInvestigate institutions, course portfolios and student markets.
Public evidence is an input to commercial work. It does not show recruitment costs, conversion or contract terms.
What you can investigate
Depth differs by provider type, and for international peer systems. Each panel says what the Edition holds for that audience today.
Each under a minute, narrated by Rosie and made from the platform’s own screens.
On your phone
Board papers, the CHESS Ranking and Rosie all open on a phone. Every figure and source is the same as on the desktop.

Your university’s front page. Its figures against the sector, then its desks as apps, the moment you open it.


Market Intelligence. Ten questions a chair asks, each answered on its own slide.






The CHESS Ranking. Universities ranked on finance, mission and community.


The research map. Fields, funders and industry partners, connected on one page.


Rosie. An AI research companion, on every page.



Board papers
Type the question your Council is asking. The Edition writes a one or two page paper in council form, compares you with your nearest peers and names every source. It opens in Word for you to check and edit.



Scenarios
You set the change: fewer students from one country, a visa rule, a funding freeze or a pay rise. The Sector Scenario Lab and the CFO model apply it to each university’s published accounts over the next five years. Change the assumptions to explore their modelled effects. Scenario results illustrate those assumptions; they are not forecasts or statements of CoreBridge’s preferred policy. The base year and the inputs are shown on the page.

Meet Rosie, an AI research companion.
Rosie works like a strategist at your side. Talk a question through, test an idea before the meeting, or think aloud about what a trend could mean for your institution. Type to her on any page, or talk to her on video.
Rosie is AI, not a human adviser. Answers can be wrong: check them against the sources shown.
Think it through, on any page. Ask what a page could mean for your plans, and Rosie works through it with you.

Ready for the room. Rehearse the hard question before the meeting, or ask how your peers might read the same trend.

Load, fee income and the domestic and international mix, over ten years.

Scope 1 and 2 emissions per student, for universities above the NGER threshold.

Workers’ compensation claims and workforce measures, against the sector.

Each number carries its publisher and its reporting year. Figures a publisher reported are kept apart from figures CoreBridge calculated and results a model produced, and each is labelled. Thresholds and bands are CoreBridge’s own settings, and say so.
National collections are not all defined the same way. Where definitions differ between systems, the page says so. Published figures can be revised after the Edition reads them.
The datasets behind every institutional comparison are drawn from published sources. Every reader sees the same figures from the same sources, so your team can benchmark against publishers it already trusts.
Access uses work-email verification and institutional named-user licences. We do not ask users to keep a separate CoreBridge password. User account and service records, questions put to Rosie and generated content are governed separately from the published datasets, under our privacy and data-handling terms. Please do not enter confidential information.

Counts are for an Australian university, as the product holds them today. (beta) marks a tool still in beta.
The Edition already holds peers in the United Kingdom, New Zealand, the United States, Canada, Europe and Türkiye, market overviews for Hong Kong, Singapore and South Africa, and the international student source markets. Australia and the United Kingdom are live now, on the same platform with the same tools. Full national editions for New Zealand, Canada and the United States launch in early 2027.
Depth, breadth and tools. The Edition reads every Australian university in far greater depth than the free dashboards, and adds peers in other systems, TAFEs and medical research institutes, the CHESS Ranking, scenario modelling, Rosie, and papers and briefings you can edit. The table above lists each difference, and the sample outputs on this page show what the tools produce.
Every Australian university in depth, 22 TAFEs, 44 medical research institutes and CSIRO, peers in the United Kingdom, New Zealand, the United States, Canada, Europe and Türkiye, market overviews for Hong Kong, Singapore and South Africa, and one institution in the Middle East and North Africa. Each chart states the years it covers.
Each has its own section above, with what the Edition holds for it now. TAFE coverage is narrower than university coverage.
Each chart names its source and reporting year. Most collections are published once a year, so the latest figure is the publisher’s latest release.
You and your peers are set side by side on the same published measure and year. Where two systems define a measure differently, the page says so.
A scenario applies assumptions you set to published accounts. It illustrates those assumptions. It is not a forecast, and not a statement of CoreBridge’s preferred policy.
Yes. The board paper (beta) opens in Word and the Market Intelligence deck in PowerPoint. Each file carries a disclaimer and is a draft for your team to review.
Named users across your executive and governing body, agreed with CoreBridge Intelligence when the licence is set up. Access follows the seat, so it can pass to a successor. Onboarding and support are part of the licence discussion. The price is on application.
Yes. Every Australian university is read at the same depth, on the same published measures. TAFEs, medical research institutes and peers abroad are read at the depth their own collections allow, and the Coverage page shows what each holds.
The United Kingdom (157 universities) and New Zealand (eight) in full, as free dashboards and inside the Edition. Peers in the United States (279 R1 and R2 universities), Canada (89) and Europe (1,102 universities in 37 countries, Türkiye’s 201 among them), with market overviews for Hong Kong, Singapore and South Africa, and New York University Abu Dhabi for the Middle East and North Africa. Eighty-one international student source markets. OECD and World Bank measures by country. Australia and the United Kingdom are live now, on the same platform. Full national editions for New Zealand, Canada and the United States launch in early 2027.
Each system publishes on its own definitions and reporting years. Within a system the Edition compares on the same measure and year. Across systems it sets side by side only the measures the collections define closely enough to read in one row, and the page names what still differs.
Yes, on the device you used. The financial model and the CFO model save runs in your browser, the CFO model up to thirty, and can compare saved runs. The Sector Scenario Lab keeps your settings. Each gives a link that reopens the same run for a colleague. Saved runs are not held on CoreBridge’s servers.
Each figure carries its publisher and reporting year on the page, and every exported paper, deck and table carries the same references with a disclaimer. Reported figures are kept apart from figures CoreBridge calculated and results a model produced.
Board and executive papers open in Word. The Market Intelligence deck and the stress-test deck open in PowerPoint. Most charts copy as CSV and save as a dated PNG. The University report prints to PDF.
The board paper, the CFO model, the financial stress test, the Sector Scenario Lab, Rosie, and enterprise agreements and pay rates. Each carries a beta mark on its page.
Each figure is shown as the publisher had it when the Edition last read that collection, with the reporting year beside it. Publishers revise, so a later release can change a figure. When the Edition incorporates the new release the page shows the new figure and names the release. A separate log of revised figures is not yet published.
Your work email, name and role, your organisation, when you sign in and which pages you open. Scenarios you save stay in your own browser. Questions put to Rosie and generated files are governed by our privacy and data-handling terms. Please do not enter confidential information.
No. The comparisons draw on published sources, and you do not need to supply internal data. Your own confidential records, priorities and judgement stay with your team.
