I've come across a version suggesting that the genius of Shereshevsky is exaggerated because he studied mnemonics at school and if you compare his actual test results, he showed good but still not phenomenal performance.
I believe there are tens of thousands of people worldwide who have been trained in this manner, and various individual techniques are widely adopted by people.
I've tried learning it myself and I'm convinced that it works, but somehow I keep postponing it. For dissemination, it might be worth paying attention to individual techniques for memorizing formulas or other material to write an article or something similar. Without more detailed personal experience (when I would have such a database in my head), I'm afraid it might come across as mere advertising.
It's astonishing how much can be accomplished with just a bit of "rotating a cow in the mind."
On a related note, I can recall a quick visual counting system where the author attempted to utilize the dialing matrix in a cell phone. The author argues that no genius is needed; there are patterns. One can search for "Творогов В.Б. Наглядная арифметика и технология быстрого счета" for more information.
There's more, but it might already be a bit off-topic...

Regarding modern requirements for mnemonists, it's seen that one needs, for example, to be able to:
1) Memorize one hundred two-digit numbers in 10 minutes.
2) After a month and a half of the course, retain a database consisting of https://web.archive.org/web/20220331232601/https://www.mnemo... with the ability to recall the information both sequentially and by number, and in context.
