Currently, the system already has some attractive differentiated designs, but it is not yet strong enough that a simple feature demonstration alone would prompt universities currently using Banner, Workday, Oracle, or mature domestic vendor products to immediately replace their entire system.

The cost and risk of replacing an academic affairs system in a university are extremely high. What truly drives customers to switch is usually not "more features," but rather:

- Core problems that the existing system has been unable to solve for a long time;

- The new system can significantly reduce costs or staff workload;

- Historical data can be reliably migrated;

- No crashes during peak course selection periods;

- Can be rolled out in phases, without needing to replace everything at once;

- The vendor can provide long-term service and clear quality commitments.

## 1. The Most Promising Outstanding Features Currently

### 1. The Course Scheduling and Adjustment Workbench is More Intuitive Than Traditional Academic Affairs Systems

The system has already developed a fairly distinctive way of operating:

- A visual grid from Monday to Sunday, with periods 1-11 each day;

- Directly displays teachers, courses, classrooms, headcounts, and occupancy status;

- Gray indicates conflicts; only blank time slots allow operations;

- Click a time slot to preview available classrooms that meet the teacher, headcount, and time requirements;

- Double-click to complete the time adjustment, then select a classroom and save;

- Consecutive sessions are displayed merged;

- Unified conflict detection for teachers, teaching classes, and classrooms;

- Constraints such as classroom capacity, teacher unavailable periods, intensive teaching, and cross-campus scheduling;

- Genetic algorithm generates a pre-scheduling plan and displays hard conflicts, soft constraint penalty scores, and iteration results.

This can be developed into the first core selling point:

> An explainable course scheduling platform that lets schedulers understand, modify, and immediately know if there are conflicts after changes.

International products also support course scheduling and conflict alerts, but Workday emphasizes course registration, eligibility pre-checks, appointments, and waitlist rules; Ellucian emphasizes academic planning, demand analysis, and registration conflict alerts.

Our opportunity is not to advertise that we "also have scheduling," but to make "manual adjustment efficiency" and "explainability of automatic scheduling" significantly better.

It is recommended to form quantifiable metrics:

- Reduce university-wide scheduling from 20 working days to 5 working days;

- Reduce average adjustment operation time from 10 minutes to 1 minute;

- Zero hard conflicts at submission time;

- The automatic scheduling results can explain the specific reason for each unscheduled course section;

- Can generate 3 alternative plans and compare classroom utilization, teacher satisfaction, and cross-campus frequency.

If these metrics are validated by real universities, they will become a powerful competitive point.

### 2. Treat High-Concurrency Course Selection as an Observable and Verifiable Product Capability

The system is not just adding connection pools; it has already begun to form a complete peak management system:

- HikariCP connection pool;

- MySQL transactions and atomic seat deduction;

- Staggered and batched course selection by grade level;

- Course selection rounds and open time controls;

- Rate limiting and login admission design;

- Core concurrency, full HTTP link, and comprehensive website stress testing;

- P50, P95, P99 latency statistics;

- Consistency verification of successful user count, database user count, and seat counter;

- Stress test result interpretation and server upgrade recommendations;

- Administrators can run tests on the page;

- RocketMQ, Redis, and queuing mechanisms have been incorporated into the architectural direction.
