Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

VIVID is a verified, large-scale housing association in the South of England with significant real-world assets (~34,000 homes) and revenue (~£300M+), placing it in the high-tier calibration bracket for scale. However, the submission quality is poor, featuring hyperbolic claims (reach: 'everyone', traction: 'most people have used my product') and a lack of technical detail. The score reflects the massive utility and verified organizational traction, heavily penalized by low response quality and low technical innovation typical of a non-tech legacy entity.

We're a leading provider of affordable homes and extensive support services in the south of England. We believe that everyone has the right to a safe and secure place to call home, and from the moment customers move into their VIVID home we’re here to help with that and more. Our customers have access to a wide range of tailored advice to sustain their tenancies and look after their wellbeing. We invest in our homes and communities for the long-term, and this means in the quality, safety and energy efficiency of existing homes and neighbourhoods, with a firm focus on improving services so they’re easy to use and access by our customers. We’re addressing the shortage of affordable housing in the south, building the right type of homes to meet the needs of our local communities.
