Students do not track deadlines; they track the memory of being told about the deadline, which evaporates by week two. Every PI knows this. Most will not say it out loud.

- Shared visibility: the PI sees everything without nagging - Per-person views, because students ignore tools that feel like surveillance - Alert escalation: gentle nudges first, louder ones as the deadline approaches - Calendar sync with the lab's actual calendars - Venue data: a dashboard without current deadlines is a to-do list with anxiety

VenueFit is free for individuals, and the lab dashboard keeps the whole team on the same board, deadlines and venues in one view.
