# GetIntel Academy

> Guides for getting results from GetIntel, from reading your first scores to winning back topics from competitors and shipping fixes with your coding agent.

The Academy explains how to get results from GetIntel: what the numbers mean, what to do about them, and how to fix things when they look wrong. The [product guide](/docs/) describes each screen; the Academy is about using them well.
