If you sign up all students and do nothing further, you still get your 7%. That is not aligned.

To align incentives you would have to align the students payments with how much you improved their outcomes - much harder to do of course.

I think your model has the same risks as real estate commissions where the selling agent is highly motivated to sell quickly and they have little motivation to get a higher price.
