Disclosure: I am a QuestDB employee (see my user page, per WP:PAID). This is a source-by-source self-assessment against WP:SIRS, provided to make review easier after the March 2025 decline. Sources are cited in the draft for facts even where they do not contribute to notability.

Deliberately not cited: DB-Engines rankings, GitHub metrics, press releases and wire syndication, QuestDB-authored contributed articles, podcasts and interviews, and the passing mentions identified in the March 2025 review (Crotty CIDR 2022, CMU lecture slides, VentureBeat). Primary sources (the project's GitHub release notes and documentation) are used only for release dates and feature descriptions per WP:ABOUTSELF, never for notability.

@Caleb Stanford: You reviewed the February 2025 version of this draft and suggested searching out more substantial sources. This rebuild follows that advice, so a re-review would be welcome if you have time, though there is no obligation and the normal AfC queue is fine. Thanks!
