Category Standard

Virya Energy is a verifiable, large-scale energy holding company (Equity ~€600M+) with significant assets in wind, solar, and hydrogen (subsidiaries Eoly, Eurowatt, Virya H2). While the project itself has massive real-world utility and traction, the submission quality is extremely poor (vague claims like 'everyone', 'most people', and lack of specific data). The high score reflects the verifiable scale and industrial impact of the entity, severely penalized by the low quality of the provided evidence.
