The SDK Release License page does not define small scale. The Proprietary Software License Agreement Version 2.1 (revised 2025-02-03) defines Small-Scale Enterprises as latest sales under 10 million yen, Middle-Scale as 10 million yen or more and under 100 million yen, and Large-Scale as 100 million yen or more; a help page (dated 2019/06/21) states a contract is needed to publish content using the SDK except for small-scale enterprises and general users below 10 million, and excludes Expandable Applications such as avatar systems. The SDK page separately says a publication license and fee are needed for VTuber tracking software when annual sales exceed 20 million JPY. The agreement says the Japanese text prevails.

Rationale:
Thresholds were quoted from the agreement, help page and SDK page.

Counterevidence:
The 20 million yen figure for tracking software looks inconsistent with the 10 million yen definition; it may be a product-specific rule.

Uncertainty:
Fee amounts, the full Expandable Application definition and the Japanese text were not compared.
