This mainly reads as a promotion for this product (WP:GACR 4) much of which has not been updated to take account of the product's failure. In particular, the verb tense is all over the place, an unpredictable mix of past, present, and occasional others such as the future subjunctive at the end of the lead. There are also frequent grammatical errors such as "to be shorten" (GACR 1a). It is filled with details of product usage such as the table of account levels that belong in a user guide but are of little interest in retrospect (GACR 3b). And the copyright status of the images is a bit unclear: if the logo is copyrighted and needs to be handled as a fair use image, why is it ok for it to appear in a photo of signage, without indication of that copyright? (GACR 6a). Some direct quotes such as "change in business strategy" appear not to have been properly marked (GACR 2d). On the positive side, it is stable (GACR 5), Earwig found no serious copyvio (GACR 2d), and its references appear to be adequate for the material and reliable (GACR 2a-c). But on the whole, I think that this is a long way from meeting criteria 1, 3, and 4, and also dubious with respect to criterion 6, enough to be a quick fail of GA. It might benefit from WP:GOCE attention to get the grammar in shape before another attempt at a nomination. —David Eppstein (talk) 01:16, 7 November 2020 (UTC)Reply
