-          ThesisTrack is a web-based thesis management system designed to streamline the thesis
-          process in academic institutions by integrating essential stages into a single platform.
-          Developed to address challenges in managing large volumes of theses, it facilitates
-          seamless interactions between students, advisors, and supervisors. Key features include a
-          centralized application process, guided workflows for thesis writing, automated
-          notifications, and a comprehensive Gantt chart for tracking progress. By consolidating
-          communication, feedback, and file management, ThesisTrack enhances transparency, reduces
-          administrative burdens, and fosters efficient thesis supervision and assessment.
+          ThesisTrack addresses inefficient manual thesis management processes at large universities
+          through a web-based platform. The system digitizes the entire lifecycle from student
+          applications to final grading, serving three key stakeholders: supervisors (professors),
+          advisors (doctoral candidates), and students. Key features include:
