The sources that can be accessed do not appear to name this product, speaking in generic terms. A limited before shows no additional sourcing, but the software name does make electronic searches dificult. Fails WP:GNG Slywriter (talk) 23:03, 1 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete — official web site is defunct, I can't find any sources (including those already listed) to speak about this software. This article has been tagged with the Notability tag for over 12 years, indicating a lack of reliable sources talking about it. It's time to delete it.

  • Delete: Apparently defunct commercial software product, (formerly?) used in UK education sector (primarily secondary education). Looking at Google Books Scholar, there are a modest number of discussions about it in reliable sources, but not a particularly large number, and all seem to be from 10–15 years ago. My overall impression is that while this is a real thing, and reliable sources have paid some attention to it, their attention has been insufficient in extent and durability to meet WP:GNG Mr248 (talk) 09:15, 5 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
