- Honest Viability Assessment determining whether your project can realistically be resurrected
- Evidence-Based Recovery Roadmap with specific steps, timeline projections, and resource identification (if salvageable)
- Professional Written Report (5-7 pages, PDF) delivered within 5-7 business days
- Email Support for clarification questions

What Your Report Will Answer
- What killed your project? Root cause identification—not surface symptoms
- Can it be saved? Honest viability assessment based on multiple factors
- What would resurrection require? Resources, time, institutional pathways
- What should you fix first? Prioritized action steps if project is salvageable
- What's the realistic timeline? Evidence-based projections
- What are your alternatives? If resurrection isn't viable, what other paths exist?
Who This Is For
You Might Benefit From This Service If:
- You abandoned your dissertation months or years ago and wonder if it could have been saved
- You've been stuck in the same chapter for months or years
- You completed ABD but something derailed your progress
- You landed your dream job but the unfinished work still weighs on you
- You need honest assessment—not cheerleading—about your project's viability
- You want structured analysis of what went wrong

Common Questions
? Is this service available worldwide?
Yes. Academic Phoenix Protocol works with doctoral and graduate students globally. All services are delivered online via email and digital assessment.
? Can every dissertation be saved?
No. Not every dissertation can be saved, and that's okay. This service provides honest assessment—if your project cannot realistically be resurrected, the report will explain why and may suggest alternative paths forward.
? What if I pay $147 and you tell me my project can't be saved?
You still receive a comprehensive 2-3 page report explaining exactly why your project stalled, what the barriers are, and potential alternative paths forward (like modifying the scope, switching to a different degree, or achieving closure). Many clients find this clarity valuable even when resurrection isn't viable.
? What exactly do I need to send you?
Nothing beyond the intake form. You don't need to send your dissertation draft, proposal, or any files. The 33-item assessment form gathers all the information needed for analysis. You don't even need to look at your old files if you're avoiding them—just answer the questions based on what you remember.
? Does this only work for doctoral dissertations?
No. Academic Phoenix Protocol works with any graduate student stuck on research—master's theses, doctoral dissertations, or any academic research project that has stalled or been abandoned.
? What if my advisor retired, left, or is no longer available?
This is a common issue and does NOT automatically make your project unsalvageable. The diagnostic review examines whether your institution has pathways for reassigning advisors, whether your project can proceed with a new chair, and what options exist given your specific circumstances.
? What if my university is in a different country?
No problem. Academic Phoenix Protocol works with students from universities worldwide. The analysis considers international academic systems, institutional policies, and re-enrollment pathways specific to your country and university.
? Do you only communicate via email?
Yes. Communication is conducted via email to ensure thoughtful, documented exchanges. This allows for thorough analysis and clear written guidance you can reference throughout your process.
? How long does the process take?
Once you submit your intake form and payment, your comprehensive diagnostic review report will be delivered within 5-7 business days.
? What if I'm not sure my situation qualifies for this service?
If you've abandoned a dissertation, stopped making progress for months, or left your program with unfinished research—your situation likely qualifies. When in doubt, email info@academicphoenixprotocol.com with a brief description and we'll let you know if this service is appropriate for your circumstances.
