Step 2: Consider Your Student Journey
Think about:
- How long are your programs? (Short-term intensive vs. long-term ongoing)

Step 3: Evaluate Your Stakeholders
Consider:
- Who are your main users? (Students, parents, instructors, coaches)
- What information do they need access to?
- How do they interact with your system?
Making Your Choice
If you're still unsure:
- Start with your primary function - What do you do most of the time?
- Consider your growth plans - Will you expand into other areas?
- Think about your students - What type of experience do they expect?
You can always change later:
- Organization types can be modified in your settings
- You can enable additional modules as your needs grow
- The system is designed to be flexible and adaptable
