Energy Adaptive Networks

Energy Adaptive Networks (EAN) is a legitimate, research-backed project with origins at Caltech, focusing on critical smart grid and IoT infrastructure. Independent verification confirms it received NSF funding (~$150k) and appears to be the precursor to or associated with 'PowerFlex', a successful EV charging entity acquired by EDF Renewables. However, the submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing hyperbolic claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product'), vague audience definitions ('everyone'), and confusing financial metrics ('marketcap 500000'). While the underlying technology and real-world impact are substantial, the score is penalized heavily for the poor quality of the provided data.
