Yes, they'd be fair game. What I was mainly trying to avoid (but didn't
make all that clear) are megacorps. Corporate Download will likely cover
those in detail, and smaller corps only in passing, so those would be a
good thing to include.

As for the rating system from Shadowfiles, I think we should use that.
Although the book's out of print, at least it can be used even by people
who don't own Shadowfiles to see the corp's strong and weak areas at a
glance. A short explanation of the stats ("1 = poor, 10 = really good")
would suffice, IMHO.

I would just like to see other organizations included, too, and not make
this a book filled with corporations (or intelligence agencies :)
