Decentralizing the University ranking system
Hi Product Hunt,
After going to two Universities and losing interest in both schools after some time, I realized that the problem I had was that I didn't have enough information when I was making my decision.
Then I decided to come up with Scoutlage.
Scoutlage is a middle layer between prospective students and their prospective schools. Our aim is to be the go-to platform for all students and prospective students when it comes to choosing a university.

Great product.
You mentioned that your problem before was not having enough information. I’m curious what advantages you see in making this decentralized that will help with that problem?
@peter_nooteboom when I was choosing a University back then, my only go-to place for making a decision was from all these international ranking bodies like webometrics and all. But I realized that these bodies' approach of ranking institutions is kind of flawed. Students satisfaction and all wasn't put into consideration. And these ranking bodies don't really have first-hand information about the university. For example in my home country Nigeria there are hundreds of Universities and a ranking body that haven't come to Nigeria or have any partnership comes up with ranking these schools based on some criteria not really made available to the general public. I feel like having a decentralized platform where I can see all what current and past students are saying about their experiences might help in making a good decision; hereby majority of students can stop wasting money and time.
I think I explained quite well in this article: https://blog.scoutlage.com/the-a...
Thank you for your awesome feedback
