You're In Business

Intelligence Schools is a verifiable niche training provider established in 2007, offering specialized certifications in OSINT and Crypto Forensics. While the project addresses a high-value real-world problem (cybersecurity education), the submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing demonstrably false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product') and confusing financial metrics ('marketcap: 500000'). External search confirms the existence of the school and its courses (e.g., CCFI), but the reach appears limited to a niche professional audience, contradicting the 'everyone' audience claim. The score reflects the legitimacy of the business penalized heavily for the lack of verifiable data and the poor quality of the submission.
