Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

Communications Consultants Worldwide (CCww) is a verified, established UK telecommunications software provider (est. 1994) with high real-world utility in cellular protocol stacks (GSM to NTN NB-IoT). External search confirms they are active in the cutting-edge 3GPP Release 17 market, validating the 'Innovation' score. The claim of '3 Billion devices' is plausible as a cumulative legacy figure for a core stack provider, though 'everyone' is an imprecise audience definition. The submission quality was poor (vague answers, confusing 'marketcap' figure likely meaning valuation or revenue errors), which heavily penalized the Response Quality score. However, the strong technical foundation and 30-person team size support a score reflecting a stable, influential B2B technology firm.
