  Careful there. If you're good at choosing role models, maybe. OTOH, the worst glurge I find is written by many of the most "popular" critics and reviewers. I've been reading up on the Gartner Hype Cycle and methodology behind it.[1] One article quoted another tech review company who openly admitted that his job was to be optimistic -- overly and unjustifiably optimistic -- out of necessity. IOW: these companies are not sources for impartial assessment. I try to find voices which are independent, really don't care a rat's ass one way or the other about your concept in many cases,[2] And their commentary should hit the same criteria as a good monitoring system: it should be specific, relevant, and actionable. ______________________________ Notes: 1. Not much. 2. The other terms for this are "impartial" and "disinterested". They're neither a vested fanboi nor a sworn hater.

    Thanks for commenting. I have just come across Gartner Hype Cycle, and it's fascinating. You said there isn't much, but is there anything I can read about that would deepen my understanding?
