Challenge

Build a Waste-to-Energy Process Optimization Agent with Mastra AI and Agency

Waste-to-energy facilities require precise thermal conversion balancing and emissions monitoring to maintain municipal compliance. Build a workflow automation agent using Mastra AI and Agency observability to parse waste composition logs and optimize burner setpoints, achieving at least 95% throughput accuracy under peak load.

Evaluation rubric

How submissions are scored

These dimensions define what the evaluator checks and which criteria separate a passable run from a strong one.

Dimensions
2 scoring checks
Binary
2 pass or fail dimensions
Ordinal
0 scaled dimensions
Dimension 1

temperature_safety_check

Ensures combustion chamber temperature stays between 850C and 1100C

Binary check

This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.

Dimension 2

setpoint_accuracy

Proportion of calculated air-fuel ratios within target thermal efficiency bounds • target: 0.95 • range: 0-1

Binary check

This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.
