Ok I'm going to speculate a little because maybe it makes the wait more bearable. If mods don't like this I will delete.
There's only one IWC board for the entirety of 2025 that's open to civilian applicants for Intel. I have no idea what the quotas are, however it seems like either Intel is fully manned or they've filled enough slots for OCS to where they can't ship anymore people now. I know that there are 145 Intel applicants from my OR which is higher than usual numbers, but also within past ranges.
Hopefully, the delay in releasing board results is because of a large number of selected applicants. It presumably takes a while to notify active enlisted through their commands about board results. Everyone ideally gets notified at the same time to avoid confusion.
In scanning through the forum, it seems like Intel selected as low at 3% in 2015-2016 and as high as 25% in 2023. I think there's three possibilities for the 11AUG25 board:
1) Indicated by all of the canceled boards, Intel is full and will select very few civilian applicants.
2) FY2026 is open and since there are so few boards, Intel will take more than usual applicants to meet quota.
3) Neither of the two above situations apply, and Intel takes roughly the same 10-20% of applicants it's accepted since 2023ish.
There's many externalities to this board going on that haven't been mentioned. One is that some DoD (DoW?) budgets are in a limbo state in Congress. Another is that there is a federal hiring freeze since January that may continue through to October. Finally, many boards in other designators (SNA, SUPP) are experiencing changes of some kind. There's a whole big picture out there that is just unknown to civilian applicants.
