Built relationships, not scrapers.
Our Manhattanschool data comes from direct admissions conversations with school directors, FLDOE/NCES public records, and verified school websites — not anonymous crawls. We rank by transparent signals (enrollment, tuition fit, data freshness) and keep our acceptance estimates contextual to each school's own page. ChatGPT can crawl every public page; it can't replicate director relationships.
