Advanced planning after context

Test a scenario without mistaking it for a design.

Choose a system, answer only what you know, and receive a preliminary direction that explains its assumptions, missing evidence and responsible next action.

Start where your knowledge is.

Guided Mode explains one decision at a time. Professional Mode provides compact technical inputs and controlled briefs.

PROFESSIONAL MODE

Compact technical inputs with controlled outputs.

Use known project evidence, leave unknowns blank, and carry the complete assumptions and gaps into a Metro Power review.

TOOL 01 · EV CHARGING

Site demand and preliminary headroom.

Test connected demand, managed simultaneity and site-value evidence maturity. This does not replace interval-load analysis or electrical design.

SITE-VALUE EVIDENCE MATURITY

Entering a number does not verify it. Record the controlling evidence for both site values.

TOOL 02 · BESS

Operating objective and evidence readiness.

A battery should not be sized until its required operating result and controlling evidence are defined.

PRIMARY OPERATING OBJECTIVE
EVIDENCE MATURITY

Record whether each input is unavailable, identified, documented or verified. The decision gate advances from evidence maturity—not the number of selected categories.

TOOL 03 · SMART WATER

Operating need, application and evidence.

Define the service problem and installation context before discussing meter technology or communications.

OPERATING NEED
APPLICATION
EVIDENCE MATURITY

Use Documented only when a current record exists; use Verified only after its source and revision have been checked.

TOOL 04 · AMI PILOT SCOPE BUILDER

Design a pilot around decisions, not a sample quantity.

Start with what the utility needs to improve. Select only the conditions, systems and measurable results that genuinely matter. Leaving an area blank is acceptable; the result will identify it as a gap.

Responsible boundary

The final sample, topology, technology, survey method, interfaces, cybersecurity, acceptance thresholds, responsibilities and timetable require formal review.

ADDITIONAL PROJECT ROUTES

Metering and electrical requirements still have a clear next step.

A result that explains itself.

The Lab returns a usable preliminary conclusion, not a product recommendation, final design or approval.

01

Enter project evidence

Every field explains what is needed and why it matters.

02

Inspect the indication

Results connect inputs to likely constraints and dependencies.

03

Expose assumptions

Every output separates facts, assumptions and missing evidence.
