Challenge

Data Center Power & Community Risk Assessor with Claude Agents SDK and Gentrace

Rising political and community backlash against data center power consumption threatens regional grid stability and development permits. Build an autonomous multi-agent evaluation pipeline using Claude Agents SDK and Gentrace to assess site viability, power load constraints, and public opposition risk. Achieve 90% accuracy in predicting municipal permit approval outcomes.

Challenge brief

What you are building

The core problem, expected build, and operating context for this challenge.

Build an agentic site risk assessment pipeline using Claude Agents SDK instrumented with Gentrace to evaluate power grid load and community sentiment.

Delivery guide

How work is evaluated

Evaluation

Evaluates candidate agent accuracy in calculating site risk score and permit recommendation.

Datasets

Challenge datasets

Public datasets, plus the private datasets you have access to.

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

recommendation_match

Checks if permit recommendation matches ground truth label.

Binary check

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

Dimension 2

risk_score_mae

Mean absolute error of calculated risk score. • target: 5 • range: 0-100

Binary check

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

Learning goals

What you should walk away with

  • Implement multi-agent analysis using Claude Agents SDK

  • Trace and evaluate AI agent runs using Gentrace pipelines

  • Parse regional power utility capacity and municipal zoning regulations

  • Predict local legislative approval probabilities based on public backlash signals
