Verification notes
Confidence: high for existence per research-report.md (source (b)/Wikipedia), but this project's confidence-mapping rule reserves official-board-site/direct-contact for high-confidence entries sourced from the academy's own official website (a); kept unverified pending that. Chennai's landmark pace-bowling academy, corporate-backed (MRF tyres); celebrity_branded left false since the association is corporate, not an individual named star. Live-checked 2026-09-24: found and confirmed the foundation's own official site (mrfpacefoundation.com, not previously captured), plus a listing on mrftyres.com. Confirms the MCC High School Grounds, Chetpet, Chennai location. This is a well-documented, long-established institution (founded 1987 with Dennis Lillee, per independent sources); current site content is genuine but did not itself restate the founding history on the page fetched. [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.]
