Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Nice Network is a verified, long-standing B2B telecom provider (est. 1986, Sunderland UK) that was successfully acquired by Onecom in 2020, demonstrating high traction and commercial viability (approx. £17M enterprise value/turnover implied). While the business itself is highly credible and useful, the submission quality is extremely poor, containing exaggerated audience claims ('everyone') and inaccurate data fields. The score reflects the strong real-world utility and verified exit ('traction'), heavily penalized by the low quality of the submission and lack of technical innovation.
