Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Inaccess is a highly established, critical infrastructure provider for the renewable energy sector, managing over 35GW of assets globally. The company was acquired by Power Factors in 2022, validating its market leadership and technology. While the submission itself contained hyperbolic and inaccurate claims (e.g., 'everyone' as audience), the verifiable reality of the project—state-of-the-art SCADA systems and massive industrial adoption—drives a high score. The project significantly outperforms the calibration baseline in terms of scale and utility, though the submission quality penalized the final result.
