One pathway field, every route
Each student records an intended route, and that intent travels with their record into the cohort view. A student aiming at an apprenticeship is not a UCAS student who hasn't started.
Parity of intent, today
The pathway field exists now. Application workbenches for apprenticeships, CVs and cover letters are in development, not live — so we describe the principle as built, the tooling as roadmap.
Impartial by structure
No route is weighted ahead of another in how a student's plan is recorded. Impartiality is a design constraint, not a policy you have to police by hand.
