Thank's @
Blue Riband I appreciate all of the different tools and resources. I definitely don't intend for my page to be an advertisement, I will edit it right away. I do however, think Agility Robotics has enough 3rd party validation to warrant enough notoriety for a page. And being an employee I don't feel like I can be an unbiased author. I also don't want to try and hide my affiliation or push a page through covertly. Below are samples of the media coverage we have received. Any suggestions on how to proceed?
Looking at the sources, I concur that this company seems to have enough
significant coverage from
reliable and
independent sources to merit an article. And we also appreciate your up-front disclosure of your employment, as you have complied with the
paid editing disclosure policy.
I'm not sure what the preferred way to proceed is for a good-faith, disclosed editor these days. Perhaps asking for some advice at the
Wikipedia:Teahouse would be helpful. Be sure to mention this discussion in your post (refer to it as the discussion on your "user talk page"). --

Thank you, that is super useful and I appreciate your assessment. I think if I was able to find a good-faith/disclosed editor who has a passion and interest for the subject matter it would be a natural fit.

I disagree with
Drm310's opinion, expressed above. I can't check source 6 as I'm not an IEEE member; but the other seven sources are all based on what the CEO of Agility has said, and so not independent. You'll need to find some independent sources. I also disagree that an "editor who has a passion" would be a suitable collaborator − passion is incompatible with impartiality.

Thank you that's really helpful insight. I definitely see your point about passion/impartiality, you are totally correct. I'd push back slightly on your point about independence. All of those sources are written by independent journalists, none of which are under any influence by the CEO/company. They did use a number of quotes, but that seems relevant to providing context. I will continue my research and see if there is any media coverage that is more independent and impartial in tone/style. Apologies on source 6, I didn't realize it was behind a paywall. I will remove it.
