The embedding criterion for scalable spaces

Let YY be a space, let H(Y;R)H^*(Y;\mathbb{R}) denote its real cohomology algebra, and let RN\bigwedge^*\mathbb{R}^N be the exterior algebra on a finite-dimensional real vector space. A space is formal when its rational homotopy type is determined by its cohomology algebra. The embedding criterion for scalability. A space is scalable if and only if it is formal and

H(Y;R) embeds in RNH^*(Y;\mathbb{R})\text{ embeds in }\bigwedge^*\mathbb{R}^N

for some finite NN. This is presented as a tempting conjectural extension of local cohomology-algebra embeddings; the supplied passage gives no resolution.
