QPQ: Done.

Overall: Hooks are both interesting and meet criteria. AGF as sources not accessible. Detected no copyright violations and QPQ completed. I was concerned about the self-published sources but believe these are allowed under WP:ABOUTSELF. Only issue spotted when spot checking citations was the phrase "able to remotely lock all the doors in the school in case of a lockdown within five seconds, according to superintendent Stephen Gay", as the provided source does not mention doors being remotely locked, and the superintendent is not the person demonstrating the system.

@Johnson524: for notification. CSJJ104 (talk) 02:07, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@CSJJ104: Good catch! Not only did I misread that citation, but that sentence also dragged on way too long, so it was beneficial either way to shorten it. Hope this fixes your concerns, cheers! Johnson524 19:16, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
