Verification notes
High confidence per tier3-research-report.md due to notable founder, source (b). tier3-research-report.md actually cites this entry as source (b) only (aggregator), not source (a) — it was mis-classified as direct-contact in the original pass. Corrected to unverified on review; also no website exists to live-check. Live-checked 2026-09-25: found and confirmed the academy's own official site (vengsarkaracademy.com, not previously captured). Confirms Dilip Vengsarkar's founding role (VCA platform launched 6 June 2014). DISCREPANCY: the original report's specific claim of "free coaching" and "April trials" could NOT be confirmed — the current site shows no fee information or admission-process details at all (neither confirming free nor paid). Site also lists Chembur and Mumbai Oval as additional coaching locations beyond Pune, not previously captured. [TASK 1 audit, 2026-09-25: relabelled direct-contact -> site-verified. Evidence on file is a website fetch, not phone/email/in-person contact with the academy.]
