Industry Mainstay

Improbable is a verified 'unicorn' technology company with significant history, capital raised (>$500M), and team scale (~600+ employees), positioning it well above the baseline for technical innovation and market potential. However, the submission quality is notably poor, containing exaggerated claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product'), a placeholder user name, and market cap listed as revenue. While the underlying entity is substantial with high technical merit in distributed simulation (SpatialOS), the specific proof provided in this entry is weak, resulting in Quality Factor penalties across traction and reach metrics.

Description
At Improbable, we believe that simulations as large and complex as the real world are the next fundamental breakthrough technology. Like in the real world, objects in these simulations will change in response to their environment, and their interactions will combine to form massive, complex systems.\n\nWe are building the platform to make these simulations possible.\n\nNew worlds for gaming and entertainment can now be created using our product, SpatialOS. Our technology creates permanent, persistent and engaging experiences: worlds where your actions really matter. The same technology that makes imaginary worlds feel real can also illuminate complex systems at work in reality. We use insight acquired through simulation to solve real world problems.\n\nYou can find out more about our technology on our website - improbable.io
