Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Arkion (formerly Skyqraft) is a verified, high-potential Swedish company providing AI-driven power grid inspections with significant backing ($8M+ funding, major utility clients like E.ON). However, the submission itself was of extremely poor quality, containing demonstrable falsehoods (claiming 'everyone' as audience and 'most people' as users). The score reflects the strong underlying business fundamentals and critical infrastructure utility, heavily penalized by the low-effort and inaccurate submission data.

Description
Our vision is to help create a global power grid fit for a net-zero future, by enabling electric utilities to build a more resilient and sustainable grid by enabling power grids to move to condition-based assessments of their assets, empowering a cost-efficient and risk-minimizing approach to power grid management.
