Caricature of MMs

I’m doing this for shits and giggles. But also with half-truths to my understanding. What’s your characterization of different platforms?

Citadel: rich dad with strict curfew and conservative house rules. Gives generous allowances.

MLP: battle royale administrator. Hunger games! Sink or swim.

Baly: wanna-be rockstar. Projects the cool kid angle and plays up culture but ultimately just as metrics driven and unfeeling like the rest.

P72: also rich dad but less strict and more liberal house rules. Cares about the older kids more than the little ones.

Wouldn't P72 have some more to do with the "little ones" since they have the oldest and most seasoned undergrad recruiting platform? I'm guessing (hoping lol) that it's generally seen as better than citadel's and MLP's training schemes
