Industry Mainstay

Volue ASA is a verified, publicly traded Norwegian technology company (OSE: VOLUE) with ~$135M USD in revenue and ~800 employees, specializing in energy, power grid, and infrastructure optimization. The project demonstrates exceptional real-world utility and verified traction significantly exceeding the 'Much Larger Scale' threshold. However, the submission quality was extremely poor (invalid email, lazy descriptions like 'most people have used my product'), necessitating a significant penalty on the 'Response Quality' metric. The score reflects the high value of the entity adjusted for the low quality of the specific submission.
