— Unranked

Unranked · insufficient data

New measurement queued. Runs take a few minutes — reload later. Published figures stay as they are unless the new run succeeds.

Not ranked: energy source found but couldn't be read (3: HTTP 403; Wayback skipped: archive.org rate-limited us); retry scheduled. 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.

Energy source couldn’t be read. We found 3 energy-related sources for this entity but could not read them (too large, blocked or unreadable), so it is not ranked rather than scored without energy. A retry is scheduled. How coverage works.

Index composition

65% measured · 35% opinion · method

Energy throughput Measured 30% — no data

Compute capacity Measured 20% — no data

Growth gradient Measured 15% — no data

Frontier acceleration Opinion 15% — no data

Builder velocity Opinion 12% — no data

Permission to build Opinion 8% — no data

Index = weighted mean of the scored categories (weights renormalized over what was scored) · coverage 0% · confidence 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

—no data

No verified annual energy-consumption figure was found, so this category is unscored.

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

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

—no data

Fewer than two comparable annual figures were found, so growth is unscored.

Each available sub-metric's compound annual growth rate (up to 3 years) is mapped piecewise-linearly through the anchors, then combined with weights capex 50%, revenue 25%, energy 25% (renormalized over what is available).

Opinion — model-judged against written rubrics, from verified quotes only

Opinion · Capability · weight 15%

Frontier acceleration

—insufficient

No verified evidence was available, so this opinion category is unscored.

Opinion Rubric

Opinion · Shipping · weight 12%

Builder velocity

—insufficient

No verified evidence was available, so this opinion category is unscored.

Opinion Rubric

Opinion · Policy · weight 8%

Permission to build

—insufficient

No verified evidence was available, so this opinion category is unscored.
