Fails WP:GNG. The media coverage alluded to in text, as far as I can tell (namely in the Futurist) is not independent as it is by the founder. WhinyTheYounger ※ Talk 21:09, 1 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

- Each of the articles listed in Google Scholar is written by Halal, who founded/runs the project, as is the WaPo article. This likewise seems the case with ProQuest, ignoring what appears to be some sort of technical training thign also called "TechCast" that also appears in those results.
