Evidence limited to sustainability targets and financial metrics with no direct support for any rubric dimension. Model synthesis · opinion

Unranked · insufficient data
Kardashev-equivalent K 0.277

588 MW average power · 5.16 TWh/yr energy consumed (FY2025).

K = (log₁₀P − 6) / 10 with P in watts. Humanity today ≈ K 0.73. Computed in code from the reported figure — source: oracle.com/a/ocom/docs/social-impact-datasheet.pdf.

Not ranked: insufficient data: 45% of weight scored (needs 60%). We publish what was verified, but an entity is ranked only with at least 60% of the weight scored, more than 40% of the scored weight measured, and confidence above 20%. Ranking rules. Missing data is never filled with a default.

Index = weighted mean of the scored categories (weights renormalized over what was scored) · coverage 45% · confidence 41% · measured share 100% of the scored weight (opinion 0%). No “overall” is asked of the model. Scores are AI-assisted (disclosures).

Run history

Every published measurement, newest first. N is the run on the leaderboard now; failed attempts are not shown. Unranked runs show no Index; Δ and the Index trend compare ranked runs only.

A trend line appears after the second published run.

Measured — computed in code from reported figures

Joules · weight 30%

Energy throughput

4.4/ 10

Reported energy consumed: 5,155,385 MWh (FY2025) = 5.16 TWh/yr → 588 MW average → score 4.4, K = 0.277.

P = annual energy (J) / seconds per year → average watts. Score = clamp(2.5 × (log₁₀P − 7), 0, 10). Kardashev-equivalent K = (log₁₀P − 6) / 10. · confidence 90%

Watts of thought · weight 20%

Compute capacity

—no data

No verified operating data-center capacity was found, so this category is unscored.

Score = clamp(2.5 × log₁₀(MW), 0, 10).

Slope · weight 15%

Growth gradient

8.0/ 10

Compound annual growth: capex +86%/yr over 3y, revenue +10%/yr over 3y, energy +32%/yr over 1y → score 8.0.
