You've managed to come up with excuses for not posting something as rudimentary as statistics that would substantiate your claims of success for rationality bootcamps.
"That would take too much time!" -> So a volunteer can do it for you. -> "But it's private so we can't release it." -> So anonymize it. -> "That takes too much work too." -> Um? -> "Hey, our alums dress nicely now, that should be enough proof."
Frankly, that doesn't bode well.
It seems that signaling rigor in hidden domains through a policy of rigor in open domains would be appropriate, and possibly sufficient. It may be expensive, but hopefully the domains addressed would still be of some benefit.
