Distribution is direct-to-consumer via a Tehran office, phone/email/WhatsApp remote consulting, and digital channels (website blog, LinkedIn, Telegram, Instagram, online evaluation form). There is no proprietary technology platform; service delivery is human-consultant based. Across approximately 15 years of operation the firm has cumulatively processed 389 student cases and 467 total academic/work files. Ownership is private and not disclosed; no funding rounds, M&A, or institutional investment are referenced in the source data.
