Score (SN44) Lands PwC France Alliance for Enterprise Vision AI
Score (SN44), Manako, and PwC France and Maghreb have announced a formal alliance to bring physical AI to enterprise clients at global scale. Specifically, the partnership leverages Bittensor’s decentralized computer vision infrastructure to power real-time camera intelligence. For the Bittensor ecosystem, this represents a major enterprise adoption milestone.
How Score (SN44) Evolved From Football to Enterprise AI
Score operates as Subnet 44 (SN44) on the Bittensor blockchain. The project launched with a focus on Game State Recognition (GSR) in football. Its decentralized computer vision network allows miners to annotate match footage at scale. Miners track player movements, ball positions, and game events in real time. They do this using object detection and keypoint analysis.
According to the project’s documentation, traditional annotation of football match footage requires hundreds of hours of manual work. It also costs thousands of dollars per match. As a result, Score aims to reduce those costs by 10x to 100x through decentralized processing.
The subnet has since expanded well beyond sports into a broader enterprise vision AI mission. Score now operates a dual-track approach. The public pipeline makes models available on Hugging Face with inference through Chutes. Meanwhile, a private enterprise pipeline runs inside Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) to protect customer video data.
Manako is the enterprise product layer built on top of Score’s decentralized network. It functions as what the team calls a Business Operations World Model. In practice, organizations connect their existing camera feeds and describe what they need to detect in plain language. Then Manako monitors, understands, and acts in real time. The system delivers automated actions such as lockdowns, dispatch orders, audit reports, and workflow automations. Furthermore, it requires no new hardware, no code, and no dedicated research teams.

Score (SN44) and Manako Already Serve Enterprise Clients
The PwC alliance builds on existing commercial momentum. Reading FC, the English football club, already uses Manako to process match footage. This happens through Score’s vision intelligence pipeline. According to the Yuma State of Bittensor report published by The Block in March 2026, Reading FC is among the real-world use cases on the network. It demonstrates that Bittensor subnets can serve paying enterprise clients.
In addition, Score has secured a deal with a major European petroleum company. The deal covers monitoring and alerting across thousands of automated gas stations. The team reported a 100% conversion rate on 60-day enterprise trials. These trials compared AI performance against human operators. Because of this, the results highlight the cost efficiency that Bittensor’s incentive structure enables.
Public market interest has followed as well. Astrid Intelligence, a company listed on the Aquis Stock Exchange (AQSE), publicly reported its investment in Score (SN44) alpha tokens in March 2026. The holding had grown to approximately US$600,000 in market value. This growth came through a combination of TAO price appreciation and network participation rewards.
What the Manako and PwC Alliance Delivers
Under this alliance, PwC France and Maghreb will integrate Manako’s capabilities into its AI and digital advisory practice. As a result, the firm plans to help enterprise clients across retail, logistics, manufacturing, energy, and infrastructure deploy vision AI at scale. The goal is to move from identifying use cases to deploying systems that deliver measurable outcomes.
Maxime Sebti, Co-Founder and CEO of Score, stated that vision AI is becoming an operational necessity. He described the alliance as a step toward helping enterprises close the gap between observation and action. According to Sebti, the opportunity is global and spans several industries.
Jean-Thomas Ledoré, Strategy Partner at PwC France and Maghreb, shared a similar perspective. He emphasized that by partnering with Manako and leveraging Score’s decentralized AI infrastructure on Bittensor, PwC can help clients move toward real-world execution.
While anchored in PwC France, the alliance is designed to operate at global scale. It draws on the full reach of the PwC network, one of the Big Four professional services firms with operations in 136 countries and territories.
Why Score (SN44), Manako, and PwC Matter for the Bittensor Ecosystem
Enterprise adoption from a Big Four firm carries weight across the entire Bittensor ecosystem. Score (SN44) and Manako demonstrate that a Bittensor subnet can power production-grade products. Moreover, these products meet the standards of global consulting firms and their enterprise clients.
The trajectory from football annotation to a PwC-backed enterprise platform shows something important. It proves how Bittensor subnets can evolve from focused technical starting points into broad commercial applications. As this alliance between Score (SN44), Manako, and PwC scales globally, the downstream demand for decentralized compute on Bittensor could grow significantly.
