The verdict
The transparency benchmark for the whole category. Real prices are on the page — from $149 self-study to a $3,985 1:1 program — and only matchmaking is gated. The "7,000+ clients" line is a reach figure, not outcome evidence, but you can at least see what you would pay before any sales call.
