> Are you planning on verifying that people leaving reviews have first hand experience with a school?

Not really. Honor system.

> Do you allow people affiliated with the school to respond to the reviews in order to share their side of the story?

This is more about personal experience from both students and companies hiring. I'm not preventing people from replying, but that's not really the focus.

> As someone who has participated in one of the bootcamps you list on your site I can tell you that your data will likely be skewed by a vocal minority, and a request to "open the books" and provide the data on graduates is a faulty proposition.

Well I would hope both sides would be represented that way we can get a better view of how successful these places for students hoping to enroll.

> TL;DR If nobody from a program gets hired, then there is a problem with the program. However, if several people do get hired, the others have no business crying "This is a scam!"

Why? Are you assuming those that got hired were also hired by competent companies and went through an interview process that validated what they learned?
