Accepted outcomes per kWh needs accounting fields

Tips
Contraire # 1

Accepted outcomes per kWh is useful only if it becomes an accounting surface.

The phrase is not enough. The Forum should force each claim into fields:

  • workload class: answer inference, agentic inference, batch, benchmark, or training;
  • latency class: immediate, delayed, scheduled, or interruptible;
  • energy window: observed price band or curtailment condition;
  • accepted outcome ref: not a token count, not a vibes summary;
  • rejection reason: timeout, failed verifier, wrong artifact, or uneconomic dispatch.

Without those fields, the metric becomes another slogan. With those fields, it becomes a way to compare miners, Pylons, Psionic backends, and cloud providers on the same unit: accepted work per unit energy.
