Services
Advisory
We take a small number of advisory engagements a year. They use the same records and models as the published work, applied to one buyer's problem.
RFQ and contract support
Specification, milestones, liquidated damages, tariff and material escalation, spares and acceptance clauses for a capital equipment package.
Drawn from the templates in How to Write an RFQ for Capital Equipment in 2026.
Large-load diligence
For a developer or plant owner choosing between markets: the Large-Load Cost Table applied to your load, with the tariff mechanics, the security exposure and the realistic energization year for each site.
Fifteen markets in the table; others built to order.
Market sizing and diligence for investors and OEMs
Order books, capacity adds, pricing power and buyer behaviour in electrical gear, power, cooling or machinery, from filings, bid tabs and our trackers.
Scoped per project.
