  • Comment: Per WP:NCORP, we need to see significant coverage of the company in multiple (3+) secondary sources that are reliable and independent of the subject and of each other. This draft cites no such source. DoubleGrazing (talk) 09:17, 6 August 2024 (UTC)
  • Comment: Three of the four sources currently in the draft are the company’s own website, the fourth is a company listing/profile at inc.com. None of them can be used to show notability. bonadea contributions talk 17:23, 12 June 2024 (UTC)
