The submission points to 'Nickel' (getnickel.com), a legitimate and high-traction fintech platform for construction material payments with ~$16M in funding and substantial transaction volume. However, the submission data itself is of extremely poor quality, containing erroneous claims (e.g., 'Launch Date: 1902', 'Business Type: Nickel Production', 'Audience: everyone').
