Draft talk:Cyrus Tang Foundation

Source analysis

Here's my current summary of the sources. I will say I'm being pretty generous towards GCPI—even if it met the bar for significant coverage (which I don't think it does), it's really not something I trust to be that reliable due to how flowery the prose is written when talking about the foundation.
