A detailed account of IQT:

https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/additional-publications/in-q-tel/index.html

"In-Q-Tel is openly affiliated with the Agency, as was made obvious to the world during its press rollout on 29 September 1999. Of equal importance, it will not initiate work in areas that lead to solutions that are put in so-called "black boxes" -- that is, innovations that the government subsequently classifies. To do so would undercut In-Q-Tels credibility with its business partners to the detriment of the Agency."
