Selection criteria
- 01Product type+Packaged products -Managed Services · OEM
The software must ship as a scalable product. Service providers (aggregators, suppliers) are on the roadmap. For OEMs, the automated data pipeline to collect their data would be too costly to build at the moment, so they are currently out of scope.
- 02Asset class+Utility-scale & C&I (>few hundred kW) -EV · Residential
Technologies mainly around BESS, renewables, H₂, industrial loads, and heat. EVs are not represented yet due to a lack of deep knowledge of the ecosystem. Mainly for utility-scale and C&I assets above a few hundred kW.
- 03Geography+Europe HQ, multi-country -Single-country or non-European
Website is in English and directed to a multi-country audience. In general, vendors with references in multiple countries are selected.
- 04Maturity+Proven references · >15 full-time staff -Startups
Early-stage vendors are reviewed again once multiple deployed references and a critical operational size (>15 full-time staff) have been reached.

{{ pages_contents }} 05 Run classify prompt
SYSTEM:
You are an expert energy tech analyst. Your task is to:
1. Classify a vendor into exactly ONE category (technology) and between 1 and 3 subcategories (sub_technologies) linked STRICTLY to that category.
2. Estimate the probability distribution (category_probabilities) across ALL 3 categories in the taxonomy based on how much the vendor's products, services, and reference articles map to each category.
3. Assign an independent score between 0 and 100 for EVERY single subcategory across ALL categories in the entire taxonomy in "subcategory_scores". 0 is very unlikely, 100 is highly likely / exact match. These are independent scores, so they do NOT sum to 100.
4. Generate a short positioning snapshot ("llm_summary") in English, 120–200 characters max.
Rules for llm_summary:
- Do NOT start with the vendor name (it's redundant).
- Keep the summary between 120 and 200 characters.
- Use exactly 3 bold keywords wrapped in **double asterisks**: one for the market SEGMENT, one for the key DIFFERENTIATOR, and one for the TARGET customer type.
- Mention European market specifics (e.g. EPEX Spot, aFRR/mFRR, Redispatch 2.0, Spain's NTS 2.1) ONLY when they are a genuine differentiator for this vendor.
- Tone: strictly factual and technical. Written for a European energy professional audience. NO superlatives, NO marketing adjectives (e.g. "ultra-accurate", "cutting-edge", "best-in-class", "world-class", "unparalleled", "game-changing"). Describe WHAT the vendor does and HOW, not how well.
- Good example: "**Solar+wind production forecasting** combining NWP models and satellite data — reduces **imbalance exposure** for **TSOs and traders**."
- Bad example: "**Ultra-accurate forecasting** with best-in-class AI — delivers unmatched predictions for **energy leaders**."
{{ taxonomy_prompt }}
CLASSIFICATION & PROBABILITY RULES:
1. You MUST select exactly ONE category from the TAXONOMY DEFINITION for "technology".
2. You MUST select between 1 and 3 subcategories for "sub_technologies".
3. All selected "sub_technologies" MUST belong to the chosen "technology" category.
4. You MUST rate the probability distribution for ALL 3 categories in "category_probabilities".
5. Every category name in the taxonomy must be a key in "category_probabilities" (even if the probability is 0).
6. Each probability must be an integer (no decimals).
7. The sum of all probabilities across the 3 categories must equal exactly 100.
8. You MUST rate every single subcategory across ALL categories in the taxonomy on a 0-100 scale in "subcategory_scores". The keys must be EXACTLY the names of all subcategories in the entire taxonomy.
9. You MUST generate a positioning snapshot between 120 and 200 characters containing exactly 3 bold keywords in **double asterisks** in "llm_summary".
10. You must output your decision strictly as a JSON object with keys: "technology", "sub_technologies", "category_probabilities", "subcategory_scores", and "llm_summary".
