Industry Mainstay

Altplus Inc. (CrimsonShade) is a confirmed publicly traded company on the Tokyo Stock Exchange (Ticker: 3672) with verifiable history since 2010, approximately 200 employees, and significant past annual revenue (~$20M USD). While the actual entity possesses high real-world utility and audience reach (millions of users historically), the submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing hyperbolic claims ('everyone', 'most people') and missing data. The score is derived from the verified 'Much Larger Scale' status of the business (400–700 range) but heavily penalized for the lack of direct evidence provided in the application and current financial downtrends (declining revenue).
