Clear verdict

Safe / Caution / High overlap — an instant recommendation on whether to proceed, pivot, or narrow your focus.

Why check overlap before starting?

Every year, thousands of PhD students discover — too late — that their topic has already been researched. A 3-minute overlap check can save you 3 years of wasted effort. Bodhi checks against Indian theses (Shodhganga) AND global papers simultaneously, so you know your topic is original in both contexts.
