Simulated
A model inside a game illustrates a concept using stated assumptions.
Example: “You shifted 3 virtual kWh.”
Impact approach
Credible progress beats impressive-looking fiction.
Accueco’s games may simulate energy savings. The company will only describe real-world impact when the method, evidence and limits are clear.
Three evidence levels
Never mix a game result with a verified outcome.
The public platform will label each metric according to what it actually represents.
Observed
Anonymous or consented product data shows what happened inside the experience.
Example: “Players completed 2,000 challenges.”
Verified
A defensible external method links participation to a real-world result.
Example: published only with methodology and limitations.
What the launch can honestly measure
Start with learning and engagement.
Before claiming energy savings, the platform can test whether people understand the mechanic, finish a round, remember the takeaway and choose to return.

Impact guardrails
What Accueco will not do for a bigger number.
No automatic real-world conversion
A virtual saving is not presented as an actual utility saving.
No hidden personal profiling
Future analytics should be proportionate, transparent and optional where appropriate.
No inaccessible “green” theatre
Visual spectacle cannot replace keyboard access, readability or mobile performance.
No public counter without a method
Large impact totals require definitions, evidence and an explanation of uncertainty.
A serious learning platform can still feel magical
