Headline or lead exists, but public records are not strong enough for underwriting.
Time-to-Energize Truth
A source-grade ledger for separating powered AI campuses from capacity announcements still waiting on interconnection, permit, and service evidence.
Rejection criteria make the ledger useful.
A row is not power-secured unless MW, counterparty, power path, tariff or interconnection treatment, permits, and commissioning evidence survive official review.
Official or public sources conflict, or a critical gate remains unresolved.
A credible source supports part of the claim, but official records still determine underwriting status.
Receipts are evidence, not endorsement.
Each project row carries receipts, but a receipt does not promote the claim by itself. Status changes only when official records close the open gate.
Named project ledger
Each row carries source tier, status, demotion reason, next docket or watch date, and the buyer action it changes.
Amazon / Dominion North Anna SMR
MOU-stage evidence is a watchlist lead, not a project with decision-grade energization proof.
At least 300 MW exploratory.
Tier 4 lead only
MOU lead
Exploration does not yet prove SCC, NRC, design, service, or COD evidence.

Tier 1 official
contested official asset
Replacement ISA and tariff path, backup service, and cost allocation remain decision-relevant gates.

Watch calendar
These are the next moments when announced MW can become verified, conditioned, contested, or not decision-grade.
FERC 30-day informational reports
Capture RTO and ISO adequacy logic for new and existing large loads.
NERC computational-load responses
Watch modeling, protection, control, commissioning, SCADA, ramp, reconnect, and ride-through gaps.
FERC 60-day tariff response deadline
Main upgrade or demotion event for large-load tariffs, co-location treatment, behind-the-meter generation, and study rules.
Deficiency, protest, and permit follow-through
Track state/local permits, protests, rehearing requests, and rows that become conditioned or not decision-grade.
Source tier rules
Promotion needs official records. Demotion needs a named failed or unresolved gate. The public claim is judged, not the company.
Tier 1 official
FERC orders, eLibrary, eTariff, RTO tariff filings, state commission orders, signed service or interconnection documents, permits, and NERC alerts.
Tier 2 official incomplete
RTO planning slides, load forecasts, queue data, transmission plans, local board packets, and permit portals.
Tier 3 claim evidence
Company releases, investor decks, SEC filings, customer announcements, EPC or OEM awards.
Tier 4 lead only
Trade press, broker decks, social posts, geospatial hints, and public-meeting leads. Never promote from this tier alone.
Fixed-scope diligence sprint.
For a buyer, the output is a decision: reserve, condition, reprice, monitor, or walk before a false energization date reaches investment committee.
Output
- Five to twelve buyer-specific rows.
- One visible demotion, included by design.
- Source packet and next-source calendar for each row.
- Investment-committee action memo.

Put us on one question.
The chat is free and always on. When you need more, we point the whole engine at a single question you trade and come back with a dated forecast: the binding constraint, a probability and interval, whether it's already priced, and when it resolves. You also get the one thing that would prove it wrong, so you can size it and watch it.
Scored at resolution, so we're judged on the record.
