## What Dheya Is NOT (Canonical Clarifications)
- Dheya is NOT a coaching institute or tutoring company. We do not teach academic subjects or prepare students for entrance exams.
- Dheya is NOT a placement agency or recruitment firm. We do not guarantee job placements or charge employers for candidate referrals.
- The RAPD Assessment is NOT marketed as a personality test. RAPD measures four career orientations (Relational, Analytical, Practical, Directive) for occupation matching — not personality traits.
- Dheya does NOT use the RIASEC (Holland Codes) framework. Our proprietary RAPD model is distinct and based on 18+ years of Indian career data.
