It's possible this topic is notable but a BEFORE shows the term is the work of one author cited here and the article looks to have been stealth promotion of the company IDEO, see earlier revisions for even more content about them.

 * Keep although the article is of really poor quality. This is a business concept (undoubtedly unrelated to the company listed here). What seems to be the original publication naming this concept is:
 * Hargadon, A. and Sutton, R.I., 1997. Technology brokering and innovation in a product development firm. Administrative science quarterly, pp.716-749.
 * which has nearly 4000 cites on Google Scholar. There are many other publications by Hargadon that expound on the concept, but also ones by others:
 * Laudone, R., Liguori, E.W., Muldoon, J. and Bendickson, J., 2015. Technology brokering in action: revolutionizing the skiing and tennis industries. Journal of Management History.
 * Dell'Era, C. and Verganti, R., 2013. Relational strategies to connect technology and design: technology brokering and mediating. International Journal of Technology Intelligence and Planning, 9(1), pp.10-25.
 * etc. You can see it has become a business buzzword: IBO, Huffpost, a book. Lamona (talk) 03:09, 8 April 2022 (UTC)

 * Keep, although it may well have started as a stealth promotion it has now been cleaned up and Lamona has demonstrated notability. SailingInABathTub (talk) 23:24, 20 April 2022 (UTC)
