Category Standard

The submission represents Delek US Holdings, a major publicly traded downstream energy company (Fortune 500 scale). While the entity demonstrates immense real-world utility, reach, and traction (billions in revenue), the submission itself ('WhisperWalker') is of extremely low quality, lacking specific project details or technical innovation context. The score reflects the massive established scale of the business, penalized significantly for the lack of specific technical innovation claims and the poor quality of the entry.
