{{AFC comment|1=This draft has some obvious issues, for example, it is categorised as a US software company, but the lede reads "headquartered in Elstee, England, UK". Most references also refer to sources that are very obviously not proper secondary sources. Johannes (Talk) (Contribs) (Articles) 07:34, 26 August 2023 (UTC)}}
