Rate My Solution

You think you have a fix. Let's find out how good it is.

Submit a proposed solution to the problems created by data center growth. Every submission is read by a human-directed assessment team and scored against a defined 100-point rubric, which we will publish in full. Strong submissions get featured on The Data Center Fix, credited to you.

This is not an automated scorer. Nothing gets judged the moment you hit submit. Submissions are assessed in batches by a review team, and you'll receive the full assessment — including where it lost points — by email. Expect a response within two to three weeks.

What makes a strong submission

The rubric weighs mechanism and feasibility most heavily. The most common failure is a confident proposal that never explains how it actually works, or who would have to act for it to happen. You do not need credentials, a model, or a citation list. You need a clear causal chain and honesty about what your idea does not solve.

Only six fields are required. Everything else is optional — but each optional field maps to something the assessment looks for, so filling them in raises your score. A short, sharp, honest submission beats a long vague one.
