Nouryon

Analysis completed on 2/3/2026

+564
Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

The submission describes Nouryon, a verifiable global specialty chemicals leader with significant revenue and scale (7,800+ employees). While the entity itself demonstrates immense real-world utility and traction well beyond the calibration baseline, the submission quality is extremely poor (invalid email format, generic copy-pasted description, 'null' financial data). The high score reflects the verifiable existence and scale of the corporation, significantly discounted by the low-effort and potentially automated nature of the entry.
